PSG managed to get the job done, with seriousness even if we would have liked a bit more tempo, in order to put pressure on Olympique de Marseille. Playing away at Brest is never easy, so a 3-0 victory cannot be overlooked.

Especially when it allows them to take advantage of Olympique de Marseille’s defeat at Lens to reclaim first place. It was a match full of regrets for Marseille, who largely dominated but lacked finishing. Even though Lens, now second, did not win by luck alone. They have a strong team that must be taken very seriously.

The same goes for Lille, who were clear favorites against Metz, 18th, but managed to secure a convincing win. This further confirms their place in the European race, where Lyon made a big statement yesterday in a very tight match (4 shots to 5 in favor of Strasbourg). They had to fight back after the inevitable Joaquin Panichelli opened the scoring. But Lyon managed to do it, with the “help” of Ismaël Doukouré: an own goal in the 31st minute, then a red card in the 67th. And it was in stoppage time that the winning goal arrived.

Behind them, watch out for Monaco, who didn’t really shine against Toulouse (the match was generally not very exciting), but still took 3 valuable points. Even if the question remains about whether Monaco can be consistent.

As for the relegation battle, Lorient slipped up again, with some frustration as they dominated but lacked efficiency against Angers, who seem set to be a direct rival in the race. Auxerre might feel the same way after their home defeat to Le Havre.
