Swine Flu breaks out in Marseille

Swine Flu breaks out in Marseille

Paris St Germain's Ligue 1 game at Marseille on Sunday was postponed due to an outbreak of swine flu at the capital club.

Ludovic Giuly and Mamadou Sakho were diagnosed with the virus on Saturday but the confirmation of a third case in the squad forced Ligue 1 authorities to act on Sunday.

Two members of PSG's coaching team have also reported symptoms of swine flu.

The date of the rescheduled match has yet to be decided.

Ireneusz Jelen scored two and Daniel Niculae got the third as Auxerre twice came from behind to claim a 3-2 win over Lille.

Gervinho and Pierre-Alain Frau scored for Lille.

Lens remain in the relegation zone after a goal in each half from Moussa Sissoko and Andre-Pierre Gignac earned a 2-0 victory for Toulouse.

On Saturday, Lyon were brought back down to earth in the most emphatic of fashions following their midweek Champions League win over Liverpool, with hosts Nice running riot with a stunning 4-1 triumph at the Municipal du Ray.

After stealing a dramatic injury-time winner in their trip to Anfield, Claude Puel's side were thoroughly outplayed in their Ligue 1 encounter as they went four down before a late Ederson consolation.

By then, goals from Mamadou Bagayoko, David Hellebuyck and Loic Remy as well as an Aly Cissokho own-goal had decided the result.

Defending champions Bordeaux took advantage as they claimed a 3-0 home success over Le Mans to go top of the standings.

The opening goal arrived after just four minutes in fortunate circumstances when Yoan Gouffran's shot came back off the post and rebounded into the net off Le Mans keeper Didier Orono.

Laurent Blanc's side had to wait until midway through the second half for their second goal when Marouane Chamakh headed home Yoann Gourcuff's corner.

Former Manchester United misfit David Bellion completed the scoring on 83 minutes as the substitute was set up to score by Benoit Tremoulinas.

Montpellier missed the chance to go top in the evening clash as Rennes recorded a convincing 2-0 win.

Sylvain Marveaux put the hosts ahead in the 34th minute before Moussa Sow doubled the lead five minutes after the restart.

Asamoah Gyan sealed the win for Rennes in injury time as Montpellier suffered only their second defeat of the season to slip to fourth, two points behind leaders Bordeaux.

Two goals in the last four minutes by Nene saw Monaco claim a 3-1 victory over a Boulogne side who played for 55 minutes with just 10 men.

Monaco went ahead 10 minutes before half-time through Chu Young Park and their task was simplified as Kevin Das Neves was sent off for Boulogne after a two-footed tackle on Alejandro Alonso.

However, the struggling hosts appeared to be on course for a draw until Nene put Monaco ahead with a free-kick after 85 minutes and the same player wrapped up victory with an almost replica strike in injury time.

An own goal and a last-gasp penalty sentenced luckless Grenoble to their 10th consecutive defeat in Ligue 1 as Nancy came from behind to claim a 2-1 victory.

Danijel Ljuboja put the home side ahead and on course for their first points of the season in the 53rd minute after Nancy goalkeeper Damien Gregorini had produced a string of fine saves to keep them out in the first half.

But David Jemmali put through his own net 16 minutes from time before Youssouf Hadji won it for Nancy in the 88th minute.

Grenoble have now conceded 21 goals and scored just five in 10 games and are already nine points adrift of safety.

Johan Audel and David Ducourtioux scored the goals as Valenciennes continued their fine Ligue 1 form with a 2-0 victory over St Etienne.

Valenciennes coach Philippe Montanier had told his side to expect a tough test and they responded with a victory which has left them with one defeat in their last seven games.

An early goal from Damien Perquis allowed Sochaux to move within two points of Lorient in the standings with a 1-0 victory.

The only goal came in the eighth minute as Perquis soared above the visitors' defence to nod a free-kick from the left past Lorient goalkeeper Fabien Audard.
