An extra-time goal by substitute Brandao gave Marseille a 1-0 win over Lyon at Stade de France on Saturday that allowed them to claim the French League Cup for a record third successive season.

Nigeria defender Taye Taiwo has joined Queens Park Rangers on loan from AC Milan until the end of the season.

AC Milan still hope to reinforce their defence despite the recent capture of France centre-back Philippe Mexes and Nigeria full-back Taye Taiwo, administrative delegator Adriano Galliani said on Tuesday.

A late goal from Taye Taiwo saw Marseille edge Montpellier 1-0 in the French League Cup final on Saturday, becoming the first team to retain the trophy in its 17-year history.
