Carlo Ancelotti got his Ligue 1 career off to a winning start as his Paris St
Germain side cruised to a 3-1 victory over Toulouse on Saturday night.
The former AC Milan and Chelsea manager, who was appointed as PSG's new boss
over Christmas despite the club sitting pretty at the top of the table, oversaw
the Coupe de France win over Saint-Colomban last weekend, but this was his first
taste of league action.
And it was a positive one too, with Nene (58,67) scoring either side of Javier
Pastore's 67th-minute goal at the Parc des Princes, ensuring PSG's three-point
cushion over Montpellier - who beat Lyon 1-0 tonight - remained.
Daniel Braaten pulled one back two minutes from time.
Montpellier kept the pressure on PSG by edging out fellow title hopefuls Lyon
as Olivier Giroud took advantage of some poor defending to score in the 62nd
minute.
Rennes continued their challenge near the top of the table with a 2-1 win at
Caen, Jires Ekoko (21) and Victor Hugo Montano (65) getting the goals that put
their side level on points with Lyon.
Kurt Zouma scored in the 78th minute as St Etienne maintained their push for
European football with a 1-0 win over relegation-battling Sochaux.
Bottom side Ajaccio secured a fourth straight win in all competitions with a
2-1 win over Auxerre in a stormy meeting which ended with just 19 men on the
pitch.
Dennis Oliech had given Laurent Fournier's Auxerre a 13th-minute lead, but
their hopes of a first away win of the season were hamstrung by Anthony Le
Tallec's sending off nine minutes later.
Eduardo quickly equalised and Fousseni Diawara put the hosts ahead, before they
had Samuel Bouhours and Arnaud Maire sent off in a fiery end to the first half.
The second period was more subdued.
The dismissal of Eric Tie Bi proved the key moment as Evian slipped to a 3-1
loss at Dijon.
Substitute Tie Bi had only been on the pitch eight minutes when he was
dismissed in the 19th minute, and Dijon took advantage by taking the lead
through Benjamin Corgnet three minutes before the break.
Brice Jovial's second-half brace killed the game off before Yannick Sagbo
pulled one back 14 minutes from the end.
Nancy and Lorient drew 2-2, Benjamin Moukandjo Bile and Salif Sane scoring for
the hosts, with Mathieu Coutadeur and Joel Campbell netting for Lorient.
Bordeaux saw off Valenciennes 2-1 with first-half goals from Jussie and Nicolas
Maurice-Belay.
Foued Kadir pulled one back for the visitors, who also had Nicolas Mirin sent
off.
Eden Ben Basat scored the only goal after five minutes as Brest claimed a 1-0
win over Nice, who twice hit the woodwork.
