This result sees them leapfrog Paris Saint-Germain and move into the top spot in the Ligue 1 table (pending PSG’s Sunday fixture).

The night’s biggest shock came from Monaco, who were soundly beaten 1-4 at home by Lens. The comprehensive defeat halted Monaco’s momentum and allowed Lens to pull level with the league leaders on points, injecting fresh intensity into the title race.

In the final match, Le Havre and Nantes played out a 1-1 draw, a result that helps neither side pull away from the lower half of the table.
