LENS, France (Reuters) - Olympique de Marseille moved up to second in Ligue 1 when Dimitri Payet and Cedric Bakambu earned them a solid 2-0 victory at RC Lens on Saturday.

The Provence side, who have 40 points from 21 games, played neatly throughout and were rarely troubled as Payet and second-half substitute Bakambu struck either side of the interval.
