PSG sneak past Marseille
Paris Saint-Germain moved three points clear at the top of the table after a hard-fought 1-0 win over Marseille at the Parc des Princes.
Neymar settled matters on the stroke of halftime when he finished off Kylian Mbappé's pass to fire the champions in front. Marseille was reduced to ten men in the second half after Samuel Gigot was dismissed for a reckless challenge on Neymar.
"It's a very important match for our supporters and I think it was important to win it for them," said PSG coach Christophe Galtier. "They created an amazing atmosphere - the Parc was at boiling point. On a personal level, we know the importance of getting a result in a Classique. After the last three matches, which were average, it was important to get back to winning ways. These types of games are decisive and we were face to face with a Marseille team that has made a good start to the season. It was important to get the win."
 
 
Lorient held at home
 
Lorient was unable to break down a resolute Reims backline in a goalless draw at the Stade du Moustoir.
Reims were reduced to nine men after Dion Lopy and Emmanuel Agbadou were both dismissed in the second half but the visitors were able to hold on for a battling point. 
 
 
Toulouse hold on for the win
Toulouse edged out Angers 3-2 in an entertaining clash at the Stadium de Toulouse.
Nabil Bentaleb's superb free-kick for Angers (33') cancelled out Brecht Dejaegere's opener for Toulouse. The hosts extended their lead through Branco van den Boomen's penalty (40') before Stijn Spierings added a third (67'). Amine Salama pulled one back for Angers in added time.
 
 
Nantes end winless run
Nantes picked up their first win since August after a 4-1 victory over Brest at La Beaujoire.
Les Canari's fell behind when Noah Fadiga put Brest in front (18') but two goals in as many minutes from Moses Simon (35') and Ignatius Ganago (36') turned the tide in favour of Antoine Kombouaré's men.
Mostafa Mohamed added a third (70') before Moussa Sissoko finished off Brest two minutes from time.
 
 
Marseille coach Igor Tudor added: "We played well and apart from the opening few minutes, we stuck to our game plan. We could have conceded more goals but we had chances to score too. It was a good game to watch and even though it ended 1-0, it could have been 4-4 or 5-5."
