Leader PSG won 2-0 at Le Havre on Sunday to take a four-point lead over Nice, beaten for the first time this season the day before during this 14th day of Ligue 1, synonymous with a victory for OM against Rennes. (2-0).

Despite the exclusion of their goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma in the tenth minute, the Parisians brought back their tenth victory of the season from the Océane stadium, thanks to goals from Kylian Mbappé and Vitinha, two key men for Luis Enrique’s PSG.

After the 1-0 defeat of OGC Nice in Nantes on Saturday, the first of the season for the best defense in L1, the Parisians are moving away at the top of the rankings for the first time.

Even if Luis Enrique “doesn’t like” the way his team won, without having control of the ball, the accounting operation is perfect for PSG (1st, 33 pts).

Conversely, it is very bad for Nice (2nd, 29 pts), which sees Monaco (3rd, 27 pts) return to two points after the Monegasques’ 2-0 victory against Montpellier (13th, 13 pts).

Without having really had control over the match, ASM provided the essential thanks to its Japanese midfielder Takumi Minamino then to its French striker Wissam Ben Yedder at the end of the match.

Ben Yedder is the first player to score one hundred goals at home in Ligue 1 since Jean-Pierre Papin in November 1996, said statistician Opta.

– Marseille finally wins –

Winner of Metz, Lille (4th, 26 pts) also comes back strongly behind Nice, three points behind.

In its Pierre-Mauroy stadium, whose roof was closed under the snow in the North, Losc first had to rely on its goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier to stop a Metz penalty. Metz, however in his match, lost everything in stoppage time in the first period: Yusuf Yacizi then Jonathan David scored in the space of four minutes.

At the other end of France, Marseille dominated Rennes 2-0 on Sunday evening, a match finished ten against ten, to pocket its first victory since October 8.

Thanks to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Azzedine Ounahi, OM, who had had four matches without success, have just moved back into the first part of the table in 9th place (17 pts).

Gennaro Gattuso’s men will have the opportunity on Wednesday to move eighth ahead of Nantes: they will play the late match against Lyon, last in L1, which had been canceled due to the stonework of the Lyon bus and the injury of the ex-coach from OL Fabio Grosso.

After its victory in Montpellier (3-1), Brest easily achieved a second success in a row against Clermont 3-0. With a double from its top scorer Romain Del Castillo, Stade Brestois (7th, 21 pts) remains clinging to the wagon of the leading teams.

Clermont (17th, 10 pts) confirms, however, that maintaining will be the objective of its season: the Auvergnats are still penultimate, three points ahead of Lyon who lost to Lens on Saturday 3-2.

Toulouse (14th, 13 pts) and Lorient (16th, 12 pts) have neutralized each other and are not much further down the rankings either.
