QPR's Barton enjoys eventful Marseille home debut

QPR midfielder Joey Barton enjoyed an eventful Marseille home debut last night.

Barton was in the thick of it on his home debut for French side Marseille. The QPR outcast was booked in a 5-1 Europa League win over AEL Limassol, and had a spat with visiting keeper Matias Degra.

He started the match at the Velodrome, and saw his side go a goal down to the minnows.

But Barton and Marseille battled back well, and in the end they cruised to an easy victory in Group C.
