Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have continued their impressive form in the Ligue 1 this season as they secured a dominant victory over Monaco on Sunday night to take their lead at the top of the table to three points.
The match was a classic battle between two of the top teams in France, with PSG dominating possession and creating numerous opportunities throughout the game. However, it was their clinical finishing that ultimately sealed the deal for them, with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice to put his side ahead before the break.
Despite being one goal down at half-time, Monaco fought back valiantly and created several chances of their own in the second half. However, PSG's resilience proved too much for them, with the French giants holding on for a hard-fought win.
This victory sees PSG move level on points with leaders Lyon, who were held to a 2-2 draw by Nice. The gap between the two sides is now just two points, with PSG still leading the way thanks to their superior goal difference.
Meanwhile, Lens have also had a successful campaign so far, securing a comfortable 2-0 victory over Montpellier to claim their second-place finish in the standings. The victory moves them up to fourth place, but they will be looking to keep up the momentum if they want to challenge for a top-four spot come the end of the season.
Overall, it has been another strong performance from PSG, who continue to dominate Ligue 1 and look set to claim their fifth title in six seasons. Meanwhile, Lens will hope to build on their recent success and push for a place in Europe next term.
