CNN
A French league game between Lyon and Marseille was abandoned on Sunday night after Marseille's Dimitri Payet was hit in the head by a bottle thrown from the home fans.
Payet had made his way over to take the set piece in the fifth minute of the Ligue 1 game at Lyon's Groupama Stadium, but as he was lining up to send the ball into the box, a bottle thrown from the stands clipped the back of his head.
Referee Ruddy Buquet instructed the teams to go to their respective dressing rooms after Payet had received treatment and Lyon's players attempted to calm the atmosphere.
