Montpellier stunned Olympique de Marseille on Sunday evening for Ligue 1 Conforama matchday 12, winning 3-0 at the Stade de la Mosson to climb into second place in the table. Nevertheless, the visitors came close to score the opener just after the half-hour mark when Morgan Sanson crossed from the right and the unmarked Dimitri Payet met the ball first-time, sending it down into the turf and over the bar of Montpellier's goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte.
