Ghana winger Andre Ayew missed a penalty but scored a brace for Olympique Marseille in their 2-0 humbling of Ajaccio in the French Ligue 1 on Saturday.

The 21-year-old's double gave an under-pressure Didier Deschamps some breathing space as they recovered a midweek 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Uefa Champions League.

He kept his composure after missing a penalty in the 20th minute to score on the half hour mark and four minutes after the interval.

Ayew hit a fine right foot shot from inside of the box on the 30th minute after being played through by the flick of his younger brother Jordan.

Ayew did not allow the visitors to settle for the second half before punishing them once again.

He steered a header home from a Mathieu Valbuena on 49 minutes.

The victory moves Marseille to 12th on the Ligue 1 table with 12 points.

Last month, Andre scored a stunning brace against German champions Borussia Dortmund in the Uefa Champions League.
