Paris, Oct 22: Nice, the only unbeaten team in the French league, edged 10-man Marseille 1-0 with a late goal from substitute Evann Guessand to provisionally take top spot.
Nice is one point clear of defending champion Paris Saint-Germain and two clear of Monaco.
France’s superstar striker Kylian Mbappe scored from the spot and had an assist to fire PSG to a 3-0 win over Strasbourg earlier on Saturday.
Monaco can take the top spot back with a win over promoted Metz on Sunday.
Marseille finished the game with 10 men after center back Leonardo Balerdi received a second yellow card for a late tackle on Pablo Rosario in the 78th minute.
The subsequent set piece led to the winning goal for Nice as Guessand met a free kick from Jeremie Boga to score with a powerful header in the 79th minute. (AP)
