Martin Braithwaite put Toulouse ahead in the 67th minute, but Marseille's Benjamin Mendy was dismissed in the 77th, while Francois Moubandje and Steeve Yago then saw red for the hosts before Batshuayi levelled in stoppage time.

There was also a red card in Olympique Lyonnais's 2-0 win at home to Bastia with Francois Kamano dismissed for the visitors after Aldo Kalulu had given the hosts the lead. Corentin Tolisso added a second two minutes from fulltime.

St Etienne moved second in the table with a 1-0 win over Troyes thanks to a 13th-minute own goal from Thomas Ayasse, while Lorient beat Caen 2-0, Ajaccio drew 1-1 with Stade Rennes and Nice thrashed Girondins Bordeaux 6-1.

St Etienne have 16 points from seven games, one behind leaders Paris St Germain and four ahead of Lyon in fourth.

Marseille are 11th on eight points.
