By Ibrahim Taiwo, The Nigerian Voice Sports

Mauricio Pochettino's Paris St-Germain beat Marseille to move three points behind league leaders Lille.

Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi scored in the first half for the Ligue 1 champions, who remain in third place.

Marseille were without manager Andre Villas-Boas, who was suspended by the club on Tuesday after disagreeing with their "sporting policy".

Academy manager Nasser Larguet took charge against PSG but could not oversee a victory for the home side.

Last Saturday's game against Rennes was postponed after violent scenes at their training ground. (BBC)
