Patrice Evra marked his first Marseille goal with a typically brilliant celebration.

The 35-year-old has returned to France after enjoying a trophy-laden career at Manchester United then in Italy with Juventus.

But in the January transfer window he made his awaited return to his native homeland by signing with Marseille.

And in his 10th appearance, in all competitions, Evra has bagged his first goal for his new club.

What's more, he celebrated in hilarious fashion - It is Evra after all.

The Manchester United hero headed the eventual match-winner as they pretty much ended Nice's chances of earning a top-two finish.

After the game he took to social media to thank his teammates and the medical staff, "Thanks to all my teammates to the medical staff to the supporters the velodrome was in mode." While adding his famous "I love this game" motto!

Continued to add by saying, "Important victory but now recover to prepare for the big match against Bordeaux."

The scorers in the Ligue 1 fixture had quite the Premier League feel with on-loan Swansea man Bafetimbi Gomis opening the scoring.

As well as ex-Liverpool and Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli who leveled on the night before Evra secured all-three points.

Following the win, Marseille move up to fifth in the league, five points behind Lyon with just two games remaining in the season. Whereas Nice lose ground on second place Paris Saint-Germain.
