Florian Thauvin scored the only goal of the game in the first half as PSG suffered their second defeat in as many games at the start of the Ligue 1 season.
However, it was events in second-half stoppage time which marked the night. A late tackle from Leandro Paredes sparked a mass brawl on the pitch at the Parc des Princes.
Paredes was given his second yellow for the challenge and teammate Layvin Kurzawa was also dismissed for his role in the aftermath. Two Marseille players were also given their marching orders: Jordan Amavi and Dario Benedetto.
However, when it looked like the referee was done, VAR intervened and the pitchside monitor was used, leading to a red card for Neymar, too.
Images showed the former Barcelona forward hitting Alvaro Gonzalez on the back of the head. Neymar later claimed he had been the target of a racist insult from the Spanish defender, prompting his reaction.
