Payet's belter was ruled out for Marseille. Twitter

Having just turned the game on it's head, Marseille thought they'd doubled their lead only to see it ruled out by an off-the-ball foul.

FT

Playoffs. Quarter-finals

After an own goal and a Bouna Sarr finish saw Marseille turn the score around to 2-1 inside 10 minutes, Dimitri Payet thought he'd scored a screamer to make it three.

Unfortunately for the Frenchman, a clumsy Kostas Mitroglou pulled a defender to the deck off the ball, causing the referee to blow up for a free-kick.

Payet's strike sailed into the top corner and sent the Marseille faithful into a short-lived frenzy.
