Olympique de Marseille maintained their hopes of securing a Champions League group stage spot for next season when they beat already-relegated Angers 3-1 in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

They trail second-placed RC Lens, who are now sure of finishing in the top three, by two points and leaders Paris St Germain by eight. With only three wins this season and their relegation to Ligue 2 already confirmed, Angers had little to play for but there was also no pressure on them at the Stade Velodrome.

Sanchez, however, equalised with his 14th league goal of the season, tapping home at the near post from Jonathan Clauss's cross seven minutes later.
