Thanks to its victory against Bordeaux, during the 23rd day, Lille retains the first place in Ligue 1. Its first pursuer, Lyon, beat Dijon.

For its part, Monaco won against Nice, and confirms its very good form at the moment.  

Leader Lille has established his domination over Ligue 1 by crushing Bordeaux (3-0) on Wednesday for the 23rd day.

Lille, untouchable leader, brought back from Gironde a fifth straight victory. 

Faced with the Mastiffs of Christophe Galtier, the solid Bordeaux defense held up the shock in the first period before slacking off against Yusuf Yazici (54th), scorer on a pass behind the championship's best passer, Jonathan Bamba.

The exit from injury of the Turkish striker, hit in an ankle, did not slow down the ambitions of Lille who doubled the bet on a backlash concluded by the young Timothy Weah (66th).

Jonathan David added strength (89th).

Tenth in L1, Bordeaux has three lengths ahead of its pursuer Montpellier who brought a point from Metz (1-1) thanks to Gaëtan Laborde.

The Hérault residents saved the furniture after conceding a goal after returning from the locker room, but they will still have to wait to regain the joys of victory.

This is their ninth consecutive game without winning.

Lille's first pursuer, Lyon, won 1-0 at the penultimate Dijon, and remains two points behind the leader.

The Lyonnais had to be content with a short success thanks to a goal from their Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paqueta at the start of the match (22nd). 

Paris is relaunching

Still 3rd, Paris Saint-Germain beat Nîmes (3-0), recovering after their defeat in Lorient (3-2).

Thanks to goals from Angel Di Maria (18), Pablo Sarabia (36) and Kylian Mbappé (68), PSG is three lengths from Lille and one from Lyon, before moving to Marseille on Sunday for the "Classic" .

Marseille, precisely, was joined in Lens (2-2) despite two goals ahead at the break, the opening scoring of Florian Thauvin (37th) and the first goal of Polish rookie Arkadiusz Milik (45th + 3) did not bring back the serenity hoped for by OM (9th place), a club traumatized by the intrusion of supporters last Saturday in its training center.

The Lensois have caught up in a quarter of an hour after the break.

Monaco, for its part, confirms its very good form at the moment, by winning 2-1 against Nice, thanks to a double from Ben Yedder (28 sp, 51).

The Monegasques are 4th.

Saint-Etienne and Nantes drew (1-1).

Raymond Domenech's men opened the scoring with Kolo Muani, before Camara equalized for Saint-Etienne (57th). 

Strasbourg cracks 

Success continues to flee Strasbourg, yet it started off well with two goals scored through Adrien Thomasson (8th) and Jean-Eudes Aholou (70th).

But Thierry Laurey's players cracked up against Brest residents who arrived with low morale.

Gaëtan Charbonnier (83rd) and Jérémy Le Douaron (90th + 4) crucified the Alsatians, still glued to the fifteenth place.

Lorient also played a bad trick in Rennes who also had a great start thanks to Martin Terrier (14th), before being caught up in the last ten minutes of the game with a goal from Boisgard (83rd).
