The Lyon's fans hit Marseille star Dimitri Payet with a bottle of water in the head

It was Sunday, just like today. And it was a bottle that struck Dimitri Payet in the head. Only it was not 21, but the 22nd day of the month. Two months ago.

Almost the same happened to Olympique Marseille star, who was then attacked by OCG Nice ultras, and now was given a similar treatment by the Lyon's in another French Ligue 1 derby. The game between Lyon and Marseille, both called Olympique, was suspended after Payet was hit by a bottle thrown from the stands.

Payet fell to the ground as he was getting ready to take a corner kick after five minutes, and both teams were sent to the dressing room by referee Ruddy Buquet.

Payet left the Groupama Stadium pitch with an ice pack on his head.
