Benjamin Pavard News: Scores on Marseille debut
Pavard scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) in Friday's 4-0 victory versus Lorient. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 26th minute.
Pavard doubled the lead in the 20th minute with a header off a Mason Greenwood cross, capping a well-worked set-piece routine prepared by assistant coach Jacques Abardonado. The new signing looked comfortable in central defense for his first game with Marseille, also providing an aerial threat on dead balls. He helped limit Lorient to a single shot on target and no corners. Pavard's debut combined a clean sheet at the back with a decisive first-half goal.
