Paris St Germain continues to rule the Ligue 1

Paris St Germain continued their good start to the new Ligue 1 season, with a convincing 3-0 success over Lille earning them a share of top spot.

Jeremy Clement gave PSG the advantage, with Peguy Luyindula and Christophe Jallet netting inside the last 13 minutes to make sure of a second success at the Parc des Princes.

Lyon claimed top spot in Ligue 1 - for 24 hours at least - courtesy of a 3-1 victory over Nancy at the Stade Gerland on Saturday night.

Bafetimbi Gomis and Lisandro Lopez put Les Gones in the ascendancy with goals either side of the interval and Michel Bastos made things safe after Youssouf Hadji had briefly given the visitors hope.

Claude Puel's side moved one point clear of champions Bordeaux, who visit the Stade Velodrome to take on Marseille on Sunday night.

Crowd disturbances compounded a miserable night for 10-man Nice, as newly-promoted Montpellier continued their bright start to the season by romping to a 3-0 away win to move up to third.

Just before the hour mark, and with the hosts trailing 2-0 through goals from Geoffrey Dernis and Victor Montano, the referee took the players off the pitch as missiles rained down.

Police and stewards regained control, and after a delay of 20 minutes play resumed - but the pattern was the same as little went right for the hosts.

Lilian Compan completed the scoring and Onyekachi Apam was given his marching orders for a second bookable offence.

A late goal from Rennes forward Asamoah Gyan denied newly-promoted Lens a victory as both sides finished with 10 men in a 2-2 draw at the Stade Felix Bollaert.

Ismael Bangoura gave Rennes the early lead but Yohann Demont's penalty levelled things up as the sides went in level at half-time.

Lens were the first to have a man sent off as Marco Ramos received a second yellow card before Yann M'Vila's dismissal levelled things up.

Issam Jemaa's header restored Lens' lead but Gyan ensured the game ended with both sides claiming a point.

Vaclav Sverkos' first-half penalty secured Sochaux their second league victory of the season this evening and inflict a second defeat on Monaco.

Marama Vahirua's second-half free-kick was enough to hand Lorient their first home win of the season against Le Mans.

St Etienne also secured their first three-point haul with a 1-0 win over Grenoble thanks to Christophe Landrin's first-half goal.

Auxerre claimed their first point of the term but their wastefulness cost them the chance to earn more than a goalless draw at promoted Boulogne-sur-Mer.
