Monaco silenced Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes as away wins dominated Ligue 1’s third round.

Lille snatched victory, Lassine Sinayoko hit a Vélodrome hat-trick, and Strasbourg crushed Troyes.

Le Progres notes the weekend was rich in shocks and late swings.

PSG led through Marquinhos on 31 minutes. Flavio Nazinho equalised on 58 and Stanis Idumbo struck on 72, Monaco converting their only two shots on target for a 2-1 win.

ASM are the only side with three wins, clear at the top. PSG are still chasing their first league victory.

Fabian Ruiz said he dreams of the Ballon d'Or, calling it the kind of recognition any footballer would crave.

Auxerre have conceded 11 goals in three matches, the first Ligue 1 side to exceed 10 this early since Bastia in 1985/86, who shipped 12 and finished 20th.

Summer signing Sinayoko, bought from AJ Auxerre for 7.5 million euros, scored after 23 seconds at the Vélodrome, then added a 19th-minute header and an 86th-minute penalty to deliver Paris FC a 3-2 win.

Berke Özer made nine saves as Lille produced a 1-0 smash-and-grab at Toulouse. Strasbourg won 6-2 at Troyes.

Ludovic Ajorque again impressed in Brest’s 2-1 victory at Le Havre despite not scoring. Nice drew 1-1 with Le Mans, their 11th match without a win. Seven of the nine fixtures were away victories, Lyon the only home winners after beating bottom club Auxerre 3-1, a first in the competition’s history.
