Pay close attention to Kolašinac's first touch.

Marseille returned to action after the World Cup break Thursday and hammered Toulouse 6-1 to climb to third in the Ligue 1 table. Marseille's third straight league win was secured with goals from Valentin Rongier, Rasmus Nicolaisen (OG), Sead Kolašinac, Dimitri Payet, Cengiz Ünder and Nuno Tavares.

The best was Marseille third, scored by Kolašinac in the 51st minute. The 29-year-old defender certainly doesn't have a reputation for scoring goals — he got two in 80 Premier League appearances for Arsenal — but you're about to witness a world-class first touch followed by the dicing of Nicolaisen. It's a fitting day to joga bonito.

The first touch might've been somewhat unintentional in its devastating brilliance, but we're not taking anything away from Kolašinac. 

As well as getting sent to the floor by Kolašinac's roll over, Nicolaisen's own goal was comical.   

Payet celebrated his goal by donning a Santa cap. 

And Arsenal loanee Tavares really hammered his finish.
