PARIS (AP) " Marseille lost ground in the chase for a place in next season's Europa League after drawing 0-0 away to Toulouse in the French league on Sunday. After Toulouse dominated the first half, playmaker Dimitri Payet twice went close to winning the game for Marseille. Marseille remains in sixth place after a third straight league draw, one point behind fifth-place Bordeaux with six games remaining. "It's a fair result," said Marseille coach Rudi Garcia, whose side has scored once in the last three games. Saint-Etienne is in seventh place, three points behind Marseille and three ahead of eighth-place Nantes.
