Quentin Merlin News: Provides assist in victory

Merlin assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 win over Marseille.

Merlin delivered the cross for Ludovic Blas's stoppage time winner after a disciplined night at left back. He drew three fouls and made a key block from distance in the 77th minute. The former Marseille defender contained Mason Greenwood perfectly as he knows him well, which helped Rennes avoid defeat despite being one man down early in the match. Rennes limited Marseille to two shots on target while Merlin and the back line defended deep for over an hour with numerical inferiority.
