Dimitri Payet was involved as Marseille grabbed a late equaliser at home to Nantes on Sunday
Nantes manager Claudio Ranieri has criticised Marseille's Dimitri Payet for failing to return the ball after two of his players had been injured in their Ligue 1 clash on Sunday, leading to a last-gasp equaliser at the Stade Velodrome.
Former Leicester boss Ranieri was left incensed by the actions of Payet, who resumed play without returning the ball to Nantes after it had originally been kicked out to allow Nicolas Pallois and Ciprian Tatarusanu to receive treatment.When play restarted, former West Ham man Payet continued the attack, with Florent Thauvin scoring from a corner soon after to grab a 1-1 draw for the hosts.Ranieri said after the game: "I think Dimitri Payet has to return the ball in the end, just before I told him to. I wanted to see if he was going to give the ball back. He should have returned the ball. It's football.
