Delort strikes late winner
An 88th-minute winner from Andy Delort was enough for Nice to beat leaders Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at the Allianz Riviera.
Delort - a second-half substitute - latched on to Calvin Stengs' cross to fire home from close range and register an unbeaten season against the Parisians.
"We are very disappointed we didn't win,'' said PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino who will have top scorer Kylian Mbappé back for Wednesday's decisive trip to Real Madrid. "We had control of the game but we didn't score and of course when the game is open, you can concede lasts on as we did. It was an even game but sometimes when you cannot win, you have to try not to lose the game."

| Monaco silence Velodrome |
| |
A second-half goal from Gelson Martins gave Monaco a vital 1-0 win against Marseille at the Orange Velodrome.
Martins pounced in the 58th minute, turning home a rebound after Kevin Volland's effort came back off the woodwork. The result sees Marseille drop to third on the table whilst Monaco climb to eighth.
"It's a bad feeling to lose again at home,'' said Marseille defender William Saliba after Sunday's defeat. "It's a tough one to take, but we're going to bounce back quickly, that's for sure. In the first half, we played well, but we weren't able to get the goal our play deserved. Of course, there is a little bit of fatigue because we're playing every three days, but it's not an excuse."
Monaco coach Philippe Clément added: "I'm very happy with the second half. During the first half, my players showed too much respect for Marseille. I wasn't angry at the break, but I wanted to see more confidence in my players' faces. It's not good when the coach believes more in the quality of the players than the players themselves. But overall I'm happy with these three points at a tough stadium to win."

Romain Faivre scored his first goals for Lyon as they beat Lorient 4-1 at the Stade du Moustoir.

Nice coach Christophe Galtier was delighted with his side's showing and the impact his substitutes made for the winning goal. Galtier: I think we had more courage with the ball and looked more dangerous in attack. It's a great victory for us. Our substitutions were key; Stengs brought a freshness to the team and his cross for the goal was fantastic. Then, Delort finished it off perfectly.
