Marseille's match against Reims was an end-to-end affair. The home team started brightly, with Amine Harit opening the scoring with a fantastic strike.
However, Reims mounted a strong comeback after the break, scoring twice in quick succession to take the lead.

With the clock ticking down and Marseille trailing, it was one of the new arrivals, Greenwood who rose to the occasion to join club legend Dimitri Payet in the club's history books.
In the 71st minute, the 22-year-old English forward found himself in the right place at the right time, heading home the equaliser to secure a 2-2 draw for his team.

This crucial goal comes on the heels of Greenwood's explosive debut for Marseille just days earlier. In the season opener against Brest, Greenwood announced his arrival in Ligue 1 with a brace, helping his new team to a commanding 5-1 victory.
His first goal in that match was particularly noteworthy, described as a "spectacular opener."

Greenwood's immediate impact at Marseille is especially significant given his recent history. After leaving Manchester United under controversial circumstances, the young forward spent last season on loan at Getafe in Spain.
His move to Marseille came as a surprise to many, including Getafe, who had hoped to retain his services.

With three goals in his first two appearances, Greenwood is quickly becoming a fan favourite at the Stade Vélodrome after becoming the first since Payet in 2013 to score three goals in his first two matches.
His ability to deliver in crucial moments, as demonstrated by his goal against Reims, suggests that he could play a key role in Marseille's campaign this season under new boss Roberto De Zerbi.
