Andre Ayew remains confident Olympic Marseille can retain their French league title after their 3-0 win on Wednesday kept them in touch with leaders Lille. 

Jordan Ayew scored the pick of the goals, an opportunist second from a narrow angle, but elder brother and Ghana team-mate Andre told OMtv: "The most important thing is winning. It doesn't matter who scores, at the end of each match we need the three points. We were disappointed with what happened at Lyon, we wanted to set things right in front of our fans.

"Lyon's defeat (at Auxerre) and PSG's draw (with Nancy on Tuesday) left us six points ahead so the Champions League place is almost secure. Now we must fight to take the title, if possible. A big game awaits us on Sunday, we must do everything to get a result there. We are OM, we have to produce a big performance at Lorient."

On Jordan, Dede said: "Jordan scored a very nice goal. When he took control of the ball, I knew he would shoot – he loves to strike in training. He saw the position of the keeper. He feels good, he has taken off – long may it continue. I know the coach will channel him and help him progress further."
