Pitch Invasion by Fans in Nice Vs Marseille ; Match Suspended

Utter chaos ensued in the Ligue One game between Nice and Marseille this evening, with the match at the Allianz Riviera suspended. Nice were 1-0 up courtesy of a goal from Kasper Dolberg at the start of the second half but all hell broke loose later on when Dimitri Payet had a bottle thrown at him as he went to take a corner. The former West Ham man was livid and dashed the bottle back at the Nice fans and that led to home supporters storming the pitch in some crazy scenes. Security could not contain the fans and proceedings were halted in the 75th minute. Shockingly, a member of the Marseille coaching team floored a supporter with a punch to the face, while a fan tried to kick Payet. Jorge Sampaoli, Marseille’s manager, looked like he wanted to throw hands as things got really ugly. #footballindepth #nice #marseille #payet #pitchinvasion
