Toulouse threw away the chance to claim a surprise but vital three points in Marseille with a 1-1 draw at the Stade Velodrome.

The visitors had goalkeeper Alban Lafont to thank in the first half after he made a string of fine saves to keep out the likes of Michy Batshuayi and Remy Cabella.

Then, against the run of play, La Tefece grabbed a crucial lead on 55 minutes when Wissam Ben Yedder escaped the attentions of the Marseille defence before neatly tucking the ball into the bottom corner, beyond Steve Mandanda.

Marseille evened things up, though, with little over quarter of an hour to play when Somalia put through his own net, diverting Steven Fletcher's effort beyond Lafont.
