Paris St Germain moved to the top of the Ligue 1 table after seeing off fellow
high-fliers Lyon 2-0 at the Parc de Princes.

The big-spending capital club went close to opening the scoring when Javier
Pastore's shot was deflected against the post by Lyon's Kim Kallstrom, but the
first goal did not come until the 64th minute.
Pastore, the club's marquee summer signing, was the scorer and his was the only
difference between the sides until Christophe Jallet made sure of the points
with a wonderful volley in injury-time.
The result puts PSG on 20 points from nine matches, three ahead of Lyon,
Montpellier and Toulouse.
Lille ended their run of three straight Ligue 1 stalemates with a 2-0 win over
Rennes at the Stadium Lille Metropole.
Moussa Sow put the hosts into the lead in the seventh minute when he pounced on
a rebound from Joe Cole's shot before Florent Balmont sealed the win with a
strike from close range just after the half-hour mark.
The result moves Lille into fifth in the table, leapfrogging Rennes who are now
in seventh.
Struggling Marseille clung on for a barely-deserved 1-1 draw at home to Brest.
Romain Poyet gave the visitors an early lead, which was cancelled out in the
20th minute by Andre Ayew.
Brest had the best of the chances in the remainder of the game as Paul Baysse
twice went close and home keeper Steve Mandanda - who was culpable for the goal
- redeemed himself with two good saves, but OM survived.
