Ligue 1's top scorer Andre-Pierre Gignac struck a last-minute winner for Marseille at Caen this afternoon to extend the table-toppers' winning run to seven games.

Alaixys Romao opened the scoring on 74 minutes when he headed home Romain Alessandrini's cross from around six yards out.

However, with six minutes of normal time remaining, Yrondu Musavu-King headed in Jean Calve's inviting delivery for what looked to be the equaliser.

Gignac had the final say, though, with a powerful finish in the third minute of stoppage time.

Earlier in the game, Florian Thauvin went close with a header before Gignac saw a long-range effort saved on 20 minutes.

Andre Ayew flashed a header wide of the goal and Giannelli Imbula saw a shot blocked as the visitors searched for the opener.

After the break, Gignac shot wide from Dimitri Payet's corner before Ayew sent a shot over the bar on the hour mark.

Musavu-King had two efforts in quick succession for the home side before eventually finding the target late on to seemingly earn a point.

Gignac's winner came from 12 yards out when he lashed Benjamin Mendy's pass into the top corner.

Marcelo Bielsa's side are now five points clear at the top.
