Paris Saint-Germain stay three points clear at the top of Ligue 1 after a 1-0 win over Brest on Saturday.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side entered the match on the back of three successive wins but they faced a tricky assignment, with their opponents unbeaten at home in their last 12 matches.

Serbian Milan Bisevac converted Christophe Jallet’s assist after just six minutes though, to give the table-toppers an early lead.

And it was an advantage they held onto all match as PSG kept up their impressive form.

Montpellier kept in touching distance of the leaders though, as they won 1-0 at Nice.

Frenchman Olivier Giroud missed a first-half penalty for the visitors and the match seemed destined for a goalless draw.

But Giroud made amends for his earlier blunder as he bagged a dramatic injury-time winner for the second-placed side.

In other matches, goals in the last eight minutes from Bafetimbi Gomis and substitute Alexandre Lacazette helped Lyon to a 3-1 win over Dijon.

Jimmy Briand opened the scoring for the winners after just eight minutes before Dijon missed a golden chance to equalise, with Brice Jovial failing to convert a penalty.

Dijon did get their leveller though, with Younousse Sankhare scoring just after the hour-mark, before Lyon’s late show ensured they claimed all three points.

Daniel Niculae bagged a second-half double for Nancy as they won 3-1 at Auxerre, Cedric Bakambu’s late equaliser saw Sochaux claim a 1-1 draw at Lorient and Emmanuel Riviere scored the only goal of the game as Toulouse defeated Caen 1-0.
