Marseille lost for the first time in Ligue 1 for 14 matches against Nantes AFP/GERARD JULIENPARIS: Andre Villas-Boas had few excuses for his Marseille team on Saturday after their 14-match unbeaten run in Ligue 1 came to an end with a surprise 3-1 home defeat by off-form Nantes.

"We had confidence that we could change the match when we equalised, but their second goal hit us hard." All four teams are in a multi-team race for European football with four points separating Nantes and Rennes, who are fourth and sit in the Europa League spot.Limbombe stunned the Velodrome when he stooped to head home Bamba's cross in the 35th minute in what was the game's first shot on target, but the hosts reacted positively to going a goal down and were level shortly after.

However there was no response from Marseille this time despite the return of star man Dimitri Payet from injury, and Nantes sealed the win in stoppage time in comical fashion.
