Jose Anigo delighted by Marseille response at Lyon

Caretaker manager Jose Anigo has expressed his happiness with his Marseille players after their fightback against Lyon on Sunday.

Les Phoceens found themselves trailing by two goals at the break, but strikes from Andre-Pierre Gignac and Henri Bedimo earned Marseille a 2-2 draw at the Stade de Gerland.

"The whole team reacted really well in the second half," Anigo told reporters. "Things would have been completely different had we been 2-0 down at half time, but the reaction in the dressing room was positive. That shows the spirit that we have.

"It is a point that will count. We couldn't win the match, so we had to make sure we didn't lose. When we are back at full strength and have been able to work together for a few weeks, we will have the chance to climb back up the table.

"Physically we found it really tough after all the effort we put in against Dortmund. We had problems but the switch to three in midfield changed the match. We need to go on a run [to catch the top three]."

Marseille are currently sixth in the Ligue 1 table.
