Paris St Germain moved to the top of Ligue 1 as Adrien Rabiot's brace helped guide them to a 3-1 win over Toulouse.

Rabiot's double had the champions two ahead and, while Wissam Ben Yedder pulled a goal back for the visitors, PSG skipper Thiago Silva sealed the win.

Both Lyon and Marseille could remove Les Parisiens from the summit with wins on Sunday but Laurent Blanc's men look to be finding their form at the right time after making it six league games unbeaten.

Wahbi Khazri scored a second-half penalty which salvaged a 1-1 draw for Bordeaux at Rennes.

Paul-Georges Ntep had put the hosts ahead in the 11th minute and they looked on course for all three points until Khazri converted from the spot in the 77th.

The draw meant Les Girondins missed the chance to go level on points with fourth-placed Monaco, who defeated Nice 1-0 on Friday.

Bastia extended their unbeaten run to nine league games by coming from a goal down to beat Lille 2-1.

Ryan Mendes' 17th-minute opener looked to have put their recent run in danger of ending, but Giovanni Sio replied within five minutes and then Floyd Ayite won it in the 40th.

Caen also kept up their recent fine form as a brace of goals from Emiliano Sala helped them to a 4-1 victory against Lens at the Stade Michel d'Ornano.

Julien Feret gave the hosts a seventh-minute lead and Sala doubled their advantage in the 35th minute before Herve Bazile capped off a fine first-half display with a third one minute later.

Alharbi El Jadeyaoui pulled a goal back for Lens on the stroke of half-time by scoring from the penalty spot, but Sala scored his second and Caen's fourth 15 minutes from time to secure a fifth league win in their last six game.

Meanwhile, the match between Evian and Lorient was postponed after heavy snowfall at the Parc des Sports d'Annecy.
