Marseille, chasing a first title since 1992, were 11 points adrift of Les Girondins at the start of 2010 but embarked on a fabulous run, crucially winning games in hand where Bordeaux slipped up and surging to the top of a table, which as late as Week 30 saw the top six covered by just three points.
