Paris FC 3-3 Olympique Lyonnais
Monaco going second was due in part to Lyon missing a golden chance to go level atop the table with Paris Saint-Germain, the capital side having only drawn earlier in the day. Indeed, a trip to promoted side Paris FC was never going to be easy, but Les Gones would draw in spectacular style. An early strike by Corentin Tolisso was followed by a double from Pavel Sulc, and on the hour Lyon were up 3-0 and cruising to a stylish win.
However, after left back Abner was sent off for the visitors, the tide quickly turned. Despite having Thibault de Smet sent off themselves, Paris FC struck three times in less than twenty minutes, with Ilan Kebbal, Adama Camara and Vincent Marchetti all finding the net in a pulsating encounter.
