Mbappe becomes the record topscorer of Paris St. Germain with a goal that insured Paris St. Germain’s win in a 4-2 victory over Nantes. Paris St. Germain blew a 2-goal lead in the first half but restored order in the second half.

The best Monaco could do after a ‘3-0’ defeat at home to Nice was a point from a ‘2-2’ draw at Troyes.
Wissam Ben Yedder scored two goals in quick succession to get Monaco from a goal down to lead 2-1 at Troyes but a late goal from Ike Ugbo in the first minute of the final added time got Troyes to avoid defeat and pick up a point at the end of 5 straight defeats. Troyes is without a win in their last 10 matches, 8 league defeats.

Reims is unbeaten in their last four league matches (3 wins and a adraw).
A goal from Jens-Lys Cajuste in the 5th minute of the final added time allowed Reims to take the maximum points at home against an Ajaccio side that was looking for a consecutive league victory after ending a 3-game losing run in the last round against Troyes.

Brest won their first league game in 6 to also end a run of 3 straight league defeats. Franck Honorat’s goal in the added time sent Brest to the halftime break with a 1-0 lead over Strasbourg that stood till the final whistle.

A 1-0 win at Toulouse was Clermont Foot’s first win in 7 matches. It was also Toulouse’s third straight league defeat since beating Rennes 3-1.

Lyon was held to a goalless draw at home by Lorient.
