Paris Saint-Germain beat Evian 3-1 on Saturday to stay three points clear of closest challengers Montpellier at the top of Ligue 1.

Victory also maintained their 100% record under new coach Carlo Ancelotti but it did not come easily as Evian went ahead just before half-time when Cedric Cambon scored.

PSG stormed back in the second period as Nene scored twice, the second from the penalty spot, and Kevin Gameiro wrapped up the win two minutes from the end of normal time.

A freak goal from Geoffrey Dernis earned Montpellier a 1-0 win over Brest.

He scored the winner in the 41st minute, as a volley from team-mate Remy Cabella struck him on the back and went past goalkeeper Steeve Elana.

Brest's Abdoul Sissoko, on as a substitute for his Ligue 1 debut, was sent off in the 90th minute for a two-footed challenge on Romain Pitau.

Bordeaux got back to winning ways with a comfortable 2-0 home win over 10-man Toulouse.

The in-form hosts were held to a goalless draw at Evian last weekend but were quickly on course for a fifth successive home win after Jussie netted in the first minute.

The points were then effectively wrapped up before half-time as Ludovic Obraniak added a second before Toulouse had Moussa Sissoko sent off.

Lorient's Ligue 1 game at St Etienne lasted just 10 minutes before a frozen pitch forced the referee to call the players off.

The match had already been brought forward four hours to a 1400 kick-off in a bid to beat the cold snap, but the icy conditions meant the match was postponed.

Valenciennes claimed their first Ligue 1 away win of the season at the 12th attempt as first-half goals by Renaud Cohade and Gael Danic secured a 2-1 success over Dijon.

The result took the visitors above Dijon in the table and meant the hosts, who scored a late consolation through Gregory Thil, have now won just one of their past seven league matches.

Nancy and Rennes battled out a goalless draw at the Stade Marcel Picot in a match brought forward four hours due to adverse weather.

Substitute Esmael Goncalves netted a late equaliser to deny in-form Ajaccio and earn bottom club Nice a 1-1 draw - only their third away point of the season.

Promoted Ajaccio looked on course to record a fifth successive Ligue 1 victory, having previously taken only four points from 12 games, thanks to Eduardo's 57th-minute penalty.

Goncalves had other ideas, though, and he popped up in the 85th minute to salvage his side a draw with a close-range finish following a defensive mix-up.
