Lens hand Marseille their first defeat of season

Lens have 15 points but are nine behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain who have a perfect eight wins from eight. Marseille slipped back to third, a further point adrift but with a game in hand. Lens were 2-0 ahead inside the first 27 minutes with Florian Sotoca scoring from the penalty spot and Polish international Przemyslaw Frankowski adding the second.

In a roller-coaster first-half, Dimitri Payet then pulled Marseille level with a goal in the 33rd minute and a stoppage time penalty. But Wesley Said settled the clash for Lens with a 71st-minute winner after being set-up by the impressive Sotoca. The match came after a stormy week for both clubs with Lens banning some fans for 18 months after a pitch invasion against bitter rivals Lille.

Marseille supporters, meanwhile, had clashed with Angers spectators in midweek.

Metz earned their first victory of the campaign after overcoming fellow strugglers Brest 2-1 in Brittany. Teenager Hugo Ekitike scored twice as a substitute to secure Reims a 3-1 win against Nantes, while Troyes drew 1-1 at home to Angers. Mozambique international Edson Mexer snatched a late equaliser for Bordeaux in their 1-1 draw against Rennes.
