Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg News: Brillant outing with assist

Hojbjerg assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and five chances created in Saturday's 5-2 victory over Angers.

Hojbjerg supplied the assist for Igor Paixaos late goal, keeping Marseilles tempo high even after the second half changes. His late involvement helped Marseille close the match with control rather than simply seeing it out. The pass for the fifth goal punctuated a night where Marseille produced 23 attempts and dictated the entire rhythm. Hojbjerg found a season high five created chances as he was able to play forward more often at Raymond Kopa thanks to the pairing with Bilal Nadir in midfield, which helped him in recoveries.
