Paris Saint-Germain put together four straight league wins with a 3-0 home victory against Montpellier.
Lorient and Lens played out a goalless draw.
Marseille and Lille did the same.
Thijs Dallinga’s failure to convert from the penalty spot at the end of the first half came back to haunt his Toulouse side. Thijs ended up scoring from open play four minutes into the second half, but Le Havre’s Mohamed Bayo scored the equalizing goal for Le Havre in the 83rd minute, before netting the winning goal in the 5th minute of added time. Le Havre secured three points and their third league victory by coming from behind to win 2-1 in Toulouse.
Monaco bounced back from ‘2-0’ defeat against Lille with a ‘2-0’ win over Brest.
Nice maintained their unbeaten start to the season by earning three points with a 2-0 victory over Rennes, who have not won any of their last four league games, suffering three losses.
Lyon remains without a league win after playing 10 matches. They had to come from behind to avoid a defeat at home to Metz.
