Marseille were stunned by a late Amiens double to drop Ligue 1 points in a 2-2 draw at the Orange Velodrome.
Second-placed Marseille, who are now 12 points behind runaway leaders Paris St Germain, seemed to be cruising when Morgan Sanson and Dimitri Payet scored either side of half-time.
But Serhou Guirassys 83rd-minute penalty gave Amiens a lifeline, and substitute Saman Ghoddos equalised in the fifth minute of stoppage time.

Relegation-threatened Amiens frustrated Andre Villas-Boas side during a first half in which Guirassy had the best early opening.
But Marseille took the lead in first-half stoppage time when Amiens goalkeeper Regis Gurtner allowed Sansons drive from the edge of the box to evade his grasp.
Payet was out-of-sorts in the first period but he sliced through the Amiens defence after 57 minutes, just moments after Guirassy had a close-range effort disallowed for offside.

Amiens kept pushing, however, and Guirassy won and converted a penalty before heading against the crossbar two minutes later.
Marseille looked as if they would hold on for a fifth win in six league games until Ghoddos pounced from close range with virtually the last kick of the match.
