Paris--Two late goals for Marseille kept their hopes of Champions League football next season alive with a 2-1 comeback win over Monaco in Sunday's late Ligue 1 match.
It took the Principality side just one minute to take the lead after Joao Moutinho pounced on a defensive mistake.
But Marseille hit back with 10 minutes to go as Andre Ayew headed home his ninth goal of the season before Romain Alessandrini secured the three points with just three minutes to play.
Since coming back from the international break at the start of April, one-time leaders Marseille's title hopes have evaporated and their Champions League aspirations had nearly followed suit ahead of their first home win since January.
The win sends Marseille back into fourth place, just two points behind their opponents of the night.
"As long as the Champions League qualification is still mathematically possible, we'll have faith and hope," Marseille coach Marcelo Bielsa said.
