Emerson
OM
Extends impressive assist streak
Emerson assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-3 victory against Le Havre.
Analysis: Emerson recorded another assist during Sunday's 4-3 victory over Le Havre, continuing to provide an important attacking outlet from left-back as Marseille dominated the opening hour. He also produced a crucial defensive intervention in the 63rd minute, clearing Josh Maja's close-range effort off the goal line before the visitors mounted their remarkable late comeback. Emerson has now registered assists in three consecutive Ligue 1 appearances, maintaining his strong attacking production while remaining heavily involved in Marseille's defensive work.
Adds another assist from corner
Emerson assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 5-2 win over Angers.
Analysis: Emerson recorded one assist, four crosses, two accurate, and three corners while adding one off-target shot across 90 minutes in Sunday's 5-2 victory at Angers. He delivered the corner that Nouhoum Kamissoko headed home in the 43rd minute to give Marseille a 2-1 halftime advantage, while also creating danger from the left flank with several deliveries into the penalty area. Emerson has now recorded assists in consecutive Ligue 1 appearances after setting up Amine Harit's opener against Troyes last weekend, maintaining his productive attacking involvement from left-back.
Creates opener from left side
Emerson assisted once to go with three crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Troyes.
Analysis: Emerson supplied one assist, created two chances and delivered three crosses, two accurate, across the full 90 minutes in Sunday's 2-0 win at Troyes. His key contribution came five minutes after halftime when he sent a precise cross toward the back post for Amine Harit to finish. Emerson also completed 41 passes while providing width from left-back as Marseille controlled most of the possession.
Seven crosses in defeat
Emerson recorded one shot (zero on goal), seven crosses (three accurate) and two corners in Friday's 1-0 loss against Rennes.
Analysis: Emerson was Marseille's most active wide contributor in Friday's 1-0 Ligue 1 defeat at Rennes, delivering seven crosses of which three were accurate and making two interceptions across a full 90-minute shift that saw him consistently overlap and threaten Rennes' right side throughout a first half Marseille largely controlled. He also delivered two corners that forced Brice Samba into intervention, contributing to a Marseille attacking performance that deserved at least a point based on the number of clear-cut opportunities created. Emerson has now started all four of Marseille's Ligue 1 fixtures this season and his consistent two-way contributions have been one of the few positives in a deeply disappointing start to the campaign under new coach Bruno Genesio.
Six tackles in victory
Emerson generated one shot (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-0 win over Le Havre.
Analysis: Emerson logged the full 90 minutes at left-back in Sunday's 1-0 win at Le Havre, turning in one of his strongest defensive performances for Marseille with a season-high six tackles (three won), three interceptions and two clearances. The defender looks fully back in the rotation and has reestablished himself as a regular starter, earning a spot in the XI in each of the last four matches after starting just once in the previous five. Emerson will aim to stay sharp and deliver again in the season finale against Rennes on Sunday.
