Madness in France: bottle hit Dimitri Payet, he responds, fans invade the pitch

Some shocking scenes unfolded in the Ligue 1 game between Marseille and Nice on Sunday.

In the second half, a bottle was thrown straight at Marseille midfielder Dimitri Payet – who in turn threw it back to the stands in rage.

This enraged the passionate Nice fans, as a large group of supporters broke past security and invaded the pitch.

An absolute pandemonium resulted in Marseille players having to be protected by security and fans refusing to leave the field of play.

The game was suspended for a long time until some parity could be resumed, but a few Marseille players suffered injuries after scuffling with fans.

In the end, the Ligue 1 management decided to restart the game – but Marseille were not willing to come back to the field because of safety concerns.

The game incredibly restarted with a corner for Marseille – only for no one to take it – as the referee soon blew the final whistle and handed an automatic 3-0 win for Nice.
