Marseille fights back for 2-2 draw against Montpellier

Marseille twice came back to secure a 2-2 draw at home to Montpellier in Ligue 1 on Sunday, thanks to two controversial goals.

Montpellier top scorer Casimir Ninga notched his second double in three matches to twice put his side ahead. The 22-year-old scored his first following a one-two with Ryad Boudebouz and doubled his tally with an effort that went in off the left post.

Remy Cabella, who progressed through the ranks at Montpellier and spent five years in the first team, starred against his old side and netted the first equalizer, although the ball appeared to come off his arm in the buildup.

Bouna Sarr fired in Marseille's second after the officials did not spot that the ball had gone out of play before Georges-Kevin Nkoudou's cross.
