Marseille thrashed Strasbourg in their Ligue 1 match on Saturday night, with two goals from Dimitri Payet and one from Kalidou Koulibaly securing the victory for the French giants.

The first goal came early in the second half when Payet slotted home from close range after receiving a pass from Adil Rami. The second goal was a more clinical effort from Koulibaly, who headed in a cross from Florian Thauvin to give Marseille a comfortable lead.

Strasbourg, on the other hand, struggled to find any rhythm in midfield as they were outplayed by the hosts. Their defense also struggled to deal with Marseille's attacking threat, with goalkeeper Daniel Bélağo making several crucial saves to keep his team in the game.

Despite their defeat, Strasbourg will be encouraged by their performance against a strong Marseille side. They have now lost their last four matches in all competitions, but there is still hope that they can turn things around in the coming weeks.

Overall, Marseille showed why they are considered one of the top teams in France. Their attacking prowess and solid defense made it difficult for Strasbourg to get a foothold in the match, and they will take confidence into their upcoming fixtures.

As for Payet and Koulibaly, both players had impressive performances. Payet provided the creative spark that Marseille needed, while Koulibaly was dominant in the air and defensively. It will be interesting to see how these two perform in future matches, especially given their key role in the Marseille squad.
