VIDEO: Balotelli scores flying volley in Marseille’s win over St Etienne
Marseille striker, Mario Balotelli on Sunday scored a superbly acrobatic volley in his side’s 2-0 win over St Etienne in the French Ligue 1 fixture.
Balotelli held off Loic Perrin, and twisted his body to volley the ball home from a corner kick in the 12th minute.
However, Florian Thauvin struck the second from the penalty kick spot nine minutes later following a handball by Mathieu Debuchy.
The victory sealed a straightforward win that put Marseille fourth on 44 points, one ahead of St Etienne.
The win lifted them above their visitors and into fourth place on Ligue 1 table.
