BEST OF ROUND 27

Paris Saint-Germain ended a difficult week on a high note, Marseille lost more ground in the title race and Lens took full advantage of Monaco's slip up. Check out the action from Round 27 of Ligue 1 Uber Eats here!

Mbappé late show

Kylian Mbappé struck in added time to hand Paris Saint-Germain a morale-boosting 2-1 win at Brest.

Carlos Soler's thunderous effort fired PSG in front (37') but the capital club were quickly pegged back when Franck Honorat raced through to equalise two-minutes before the interval.

The game looked to be heading for a draw until Mbappé beat the offside trap before coolly netting the winner.

Marseille pegged back 

Marseille slipped further behind leaders PSG after a 2-2 draw at home to Strasbourg.

The hosts ran into a two-goal lead thanks to Chancel Mbemba (49') and Alexis Sanchez (76') despite playing with ten men after Leonardo Balerdi was given his marching orders (30').

But OM were stunned by two late goals in quick succession when Jean-Eudes Aholou netted a superb double (88' & 89') to salvage a point for Strasbourg.

Will's still unbeaten

Reims continued their incredible unbeaten run with an impressive 1-0 win at Monaco.

Folarin Balogun's 16th goal of the season (51') proved to be the match winner as Will Still's side continued their push for European qualification.

Openda hits hat-trick in Lens stroll

Lois Openda scored a hat-trick in just four minutes and 30 seconds to help Lens to a 4-0 win at Clermont.

The Belgian's flurry began on the half-hour when he fired in an angled opener. He added a second (34') before completing his hat-trick a minute later. Alexis Claude-Maurice's fine finish completed the rout 14-minutes from time.

"This victory feels good, it's the fourth in a row in the league," said PSG boss Christophe Galtier after seeing his side bounce back from their disappointing midweek Champions League exit. "It came at the end of the game, but it could have happened in the first half-hour. It could also have happened in the second half when we had a lot of opportunities. We had 17 shots on goal and seven or eight chances. Three days after our collective disappointment, the players were keen to come here and win to continue our run in the league. To score that second goal and to win, shows that there is unity in the group and that we all want this 11th title."
