Greenwood responds to critics with thunderbolt goal as Marseille snap losing streak
Mason Greenwood delivered a resounding response to recent criticism by scoring a sensational long-range goal in Marseille’s 3-2 Ligue 1 win over Toulouse on Sunday.
The former Manchester United forward had faced questions over his attitude in recent weeks, prompting head coach Roberto De Zerbi to drop him from the starting XI.
But Greenwood made a definitive statement at the Stade Velodrome, producing a moment of individual brilliance to help end Marseille’s three-game losing streak.
With the score level just before the hour mark, the 23-year-old picked up possession on the right edge of the penalty area, glided past a defender and unleashed a right-footed rocket into the top corner past Toulouse goalkeeper Guillaume Restes.
The strike marked Greenwood’s 16th goal in Ligue 1 this season, keeping him within reach of PSG’s Ousmane Dembele in the race for the Golden Boot.
Greenwood’s future remains uncertain, with speculation continuing to mount over a potential transfer this summer.
