Andre Gomes scored two goals in the opening 33 minutes before Remy Cabella added a third goal in the 37th minute for Lille to beat Ajaccio 3-0 with goals in the opening half.
Strasbourg failed to make it three wins in a row.
Lyon came from behind to beat Strasbourg 2-1 after losing 2-1 at home to Marseille.
Strasbourg took the lead in the 15th minute on a goal from Morgan Sanson, but Lyon quickly equalized in the 32nd minute on a goal from Castello Lukeba. Lyon took the lead four minutes later with a goal from Maxence Caqueret in the 36th minute, and they held the lead until the end of the game.
Monaco followed a 3-0 loss at Lens with a 4-0 loss at home to Montpellier. Montpeller won their third game in a row thanks to a brace from Arnaud Nordin, who also scored for Monaco.
Clermont’s goal in the fourth minute was enough to extend their winning streak to five games with a victory over a Reims team that is now without a win in their last four after losing three in a row.
On the day, Jeremy Doku’s second-half brace was the difference between Rennes and Angers. Rennes rebounded from a loss at Montpellier with a 4-2 victory over relegated Angers.
A goal in the second minute handed Nice a win at Troyes to end a run of 7 league matches without a win.
A clinical and fearless Lorient side defeated a 10-man PSG side in Paris. Achraf Hakimi received two yellow cards in the first 20 minutes, leaving Paris St. Germain down a goal and a man. It’s difficult to say how much the numerical disadvantage influenced the outcome, but given the two teams’ league standings, this shouldn’t have happened.
Lorient’s first league victory in six attempts. They arrived in Paris expecting to suffer their third defeat in a row.
Lorient’s Enzo Le Fee scored in the 15th minute, and Darline Yongwa added a second goal in the 39th. In the 29th minute, Kylian Mbappe scored the only goal for Paris Saint-Germain, but Ahmadou Dieng secured the win for Lorient with a third goal in the 88th minute.
