Visiting Bordeaux were one ahead at half time thanks to Jussie's 34th-minute header from Ludovic Obraniak's corner.

They made it two midway through the second half when Nicolas Maurice-Belay found the bottom corner from inside the area.

Marseille looked dead and buried until two goals in two minutes turned the game on its head.

First, Alaixys Romao tucked home in the 73rd minute, before Andre-Pierre Gignac stabbed home Benjamin Mendy's cross from close range.

A point sees both sides move up in the table, with Bordeaux up one place to fourth and Marseille up two to sixth.
