Anthony Martial left it late but earned Monaco a point in a 1-1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain that leaves the defending champions seven points off the Ligue 1 pace.

Ninety minutes were on the clock when Martial struck, cancelling out Lucas Moura's opener for PSG on Sunday.

Consequently, Laurent Blanc's men are well off the pace being set by Marseille, with the result taking the gloss of a week which saw them beat Barcelona in the Champions League.

Alexandre Lacazette scored a hat-trick as Lyon secured their most impressive result of the season so far with a resounding 3-0 win over third-placed Lille.

Having been dropped from the France national team in midweek, Lacazette answered his critics by firing a first-half brace before rounding off a successful afternoon for himself and his team in the closing stages.

Wissam Ben Yedder scored the only goal of the game as Toulouse moved above Saint-Etienne in the Ligue 1 standings after a 1-0 win at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Ben Yedder tucked home in the 21st minute and although the home side had chances to level, most notably when Benjamin Corgnet struck the crossbar just after the half hour, Toulouse held on and are now unbeaten in four games.

Guingamp's woes at the Stade Municipal de Roudourou continued as they suffered a fourth defeat in five with a 1-0 loss to Nantes.

Georges-Kevin Nkoudou's solitary first-half strike - his first of the season - ensured Les Canaris became the fourth team this season to leave the Roudourou with all three points and condemned the forlorn hosts to another week at the bottom of Ligue 1.
