00:00A real heavyweight clash in this pre-season friendly as French Giants
00:08Marseille hosts Premier League Big Guns Aston Villa at the Stade Velodrome.
00:14And we're really looking forward to this heavyweight clash.
00:18There is the confirmation of the Marseille lineup for you.
00:23Also look out for Amin Gouiri up front for them alongside
00:29Mason Greenwood.
00:32He got 13 goals in Ligue 1 last season.
00:35Well Greenwood hit 21.
00:39As we see Unai Emery's team.
00:42Doniel Marlon in from the start as well.
00:45Plenty of pace from him.
00:48As away we go then.
00:54Olympique Marseille against Aston Villa in.
00:57A late pre-season friendly.
01:01Aston Villa not yet finished with their preparations.
01:05They fly to Spain tomorrow to face Villarreal.
01:10CJ Egan Reilly on a free from Burnley.
01:14As it's an early chance for Marseille.
01:17Fifth minute.
01:19And it's been slotted home by Mason Greenwood.
01:22Last season's top scorer for Marseille.
01:26And he's had a very good pre-season.
01:29And it continues here against Aston Villa.
01:32Showing the English opposition what he can do.
01:37Well he left Man United under somewhat of a cloud.
01:39But there's no doubting that he is a talented goal scorer.
01:45As Biesel there concedes early here.
01:49It's poor defending from Aston Villa.
01:51It's a long ball straight down the centre of the park.
01:54From the former Tottenham man Hüeyberg.
01:57And it's Tyrone Mings who gets himself in a right tangle.
02:05And Mason Greenwood sitting right on his shoulder is there to profit from the error.
02:11He previously played for PSG and Lille.
02:14And he's best friends with Angel Gomez.
02:17Who he used to play with at the northern side.
02:21As Villa here look to get level almost immediately.
02:25And they have done.
02:26It's John McGinn who celebrates seven seasons at Aston Villa.
02:31With the equalising goal.
02:37Well it's a killer ball straight through the middle.
02:40And Rulli comes out to try and narrow the angle.
02:47And it's the coolest of finishes from McGinn.
02:50You can see they are looking for offside.
02:53I think perhaps in a competitive fixture that would go to VAR.
02:57And it was very very tight indeed.
03:00Ballerdi may have just been playing the Scotsman onside though.
03:06From Marseille.
03:09He's caused Villa problems.
03:10When it comes to attacking us down the other end.
03:14Marseille show what they can do.
03:17And it's over by Aang.
03:20Marseille ahead again.
03:24And that's what the fans came here to see this evening.
03:28The return.
03:32Of the legend.
03:34And he's given them exactly what they wanted.
03:36Not only the goal but the celebration as well.
03:40It's not an easy chance to take at all.
03:47It's Murillo with the ball across to him.
03:51And Villa there completely caught out.
03:53No one marking Aubameyang whatsoever at the far post.
04:00And Condor be another player entering the fray in midfield.
04:13Let's see how many changes De Zerbe will now make.
04:18Grabio.
04:19It's a lovely ball for Rowan.
04:25The immediate turn.
04:27Setting off straight away against Cash.
04:30And just holding the ball up.
04:32He's enjoying showing the Stad Vela Drone what he can do.
04:40As the ball comes across.
04:42And 3-1.
04:44To Marseille.
04:45It's Aubameyang at the double.
04:48This time it's Greenwood with the assist.
04:50As Aston Villa were torn apart again by the pace up front.
04:56Well that one a far easier finish.
05:06For the man from Gabon.
05:09And just over 10 minutes to go.
05:11Surely Olympique Marseille are going to take the win here in this friendly.
05:15At the Stad Vela Drone.
05:16It's a fantastic run from Greenwood.
05:22And he picks out a peach of a ball as well.
05:29Egan Riley involved in the build up.
05:34Greenwood completely bamboozling Dinia here.
05:41The French full back had no reply.
05:44It's been the difference between the two teams really.
05:49The Aston Villa defence have been stretched far more often by those three.
05:53Than Villa have been able to muster at the other end.
05:58Of course no Ollie Watkins for Villa.
06:02So far as Onana and Greenwood now.
06:05Getting involved.
06:07And Mings as well.
06:09Well what's all this about?
06:10Mings is absolutely incensed by something.
06:19Finger wagging there from Onana as Greenwood comes away with a torn shirt.
06:25This is not what we want to see in a pre-season friendly at all.
06:29Well this has been just bubbling under for a good long while now.
06:43And perhaps the referee is going to have to show a red.
06:49It cannot carry on like this.
06:51It's only a friendly.
06:55Greenwood comes across.
06:56Because he's not even got his shirt on anymore.
06:59It has been torn in half by Thoreau Mings.
07:05It's a yellow for all three.
07:07Greenwood on and up.
07:10And Mings.
07:16Greenwood really showing what he can do.
07:19Skill-wise.
07:22Scoring the opening goal.
07:23Getting the assist for one of Aubameyang's goals.
07:28And there you can just see.
07:29Just caught on on that.
07:30Not sure whether he really meant it.
07:34The Villa players.
07:36Certainly taking exception to it.
07:38As that is the full-time whistle.
07:42It's 3-1 to Olympique Marseille against Aston Villa.
07:46In a very, very tetchy match indeed.
07:52Only a pre-season friendly here at the Stade Velodrome.
07:55But that was more like a Champions League encounter.
07:59See you next time.
