Tottenham Hotspur loanee Clinton N’Jie disappointed for Marseille last night in their big clash against rivals PSG.

N’Jie, on loan back in France for the season, was handed a starting spot, but did little to justify his selection.

He was substituted off at half-time after failing to make an impact – making only eight touches in 45 minutes.

During his time on the field he did not manage a shot at goal, nor create a single chance.

His replacement Zinedine Machach managed 25 touches in his 45 minutes of action.

The game ended 0-0, with Marseille sitting down in 11th place, 13 points behind surprise leaders Nice, with PSG in third.

Former Lyon ace N’Jie has one goal in six appearances for Marseille since his deadline day switch was made. He struggled at Tottenham in his solitary season at White Hart Lane, missing more than half the campaign through injury.

His disappointing day was in contrast to fellow Spurs loanee Nabil Bentaleb, who scored for the second successive week in a win for Schalke against Mainz.
