PSG edge Classique, Monaco lead, Danish duo lift Toulouse as insults mar top flight weekend | OneFootball

PSG won the Classique 2-1 at the Vélodrome on Sunday as Marseille slid, Monaco went top and Toulouse’s Danes dazzled, Le Progres reports. The weekend was marred by insults across several grounds, culminating in a stoppage during Lyon versus Rennes.

Rennes were thumped 4-0 in Lyon on Saturday and their head coach said his team had been outplayed after a start that had contained positives.

At Paris FC against Strasbourg, Liam Rosenior responded to heavy abuse by taunting visiting fans, prompting a scuffle between players. He later said it targeted a small group who never wanted him to succeed, though the provocation remains questionable.

Later, Lyon’s Bad Gones repeatedly unveiled an insulting banner aimed at Saint-Etienne despite PA warnings. The match was halted for around 10 minutes, with coach Paulo Fonseca plus Corentin Tolisso and Moussa Niakhaté addressing fans to little effect.

Toulouse finally won in the league, 3-2 over Le Havre, thanks to their Danes. Casper Tengstedt scored twice in two minutes, first a penalty then a header from a Mads Jörgensen cross, before Jörgensen struck late.

Monaco lead after a demanding run, unbeaten against Strasbourg 1-1, Paris 2-1, Marseille 2-0 and Lens 2-1 on Friday, which could bode well for the autumn crown. In Marseille, substitute Ferran Torres proved decisive and was named player of the match, Angel Gomes levelled within three minutes, then Marquinhos restored PSG’s lead.
