Monaco on cloud nine
Monaco came from behind to beat Brest 4-2 at the Stade Louis II - the club's ninth-consecutive league win.
Goals from Jean-Kevin Duverne (10') and Youcef Belaïli (24') put the visitors ahead. But a Wissam Ben Yedder hat-trick (44', 51' & 55') and another from Kevin Volland (71') ensured Monaco climbed above Marseille in second place.
 
 
Rennes topple Marseille
 
Two first-half goals were enough for Rennes to overcome Marseille 2-0 at Roazhon Park.
Strikes from Benjamin Bourigeaud (12') and Lovro Majer (35') gave Bruno Génésio's men a deserved victory to close the gap on OM to three points.
"It was a really poor first half from us," said Marseille midfielder Matteo Guendouzi. "That's what put us on the back foot. The second half was better but we weren't good enough today. We didn't compete."
Rennes coach Bruno Génésio added: "I am very proud of my team and what they produced. We showed that we had the character to react after the defeat in Nantes. I liked what I saw."
 
 
Messi sees off Montpellier
A first-half brace from Lionel Messi helped Paris Saint-Germain to a 4-0 win at Montpellier.
Messi fired the champions into a two-goal lead (8' & 20') before Angel Di Maria (26') and Kylian Mbappé (60') finished off the hosts in style.
 
 
Smash and grab for LOSC
A superb second-half comeback gave LOSC a 3-1 win at Nice.
Justin Kluivert brilliantly fired Nice ahead (31') but LOSC turned the tables through two Jonathan David goals (52' & 61') and a last-minute strike from Timothy Weah, to kill off Nice's Champions League hopes.
 
 
"I'm very happy with this result especially after falling behind," said Monaco coach Philippe Clément. "We have a grand final on Saturday. We have nothing to lose and for the first time this season, we will be able to watch what others are doing for the last ten minutes."
