Valenciennes shocked Marseille at Stade Nungesser as they came from behind to inflict OM's first league defeat. The sides were locked at 2-2 after half an hour following a frantic start to the game. Fernando Morientes gave Marseille the lead before three goals in seven minutes - Milan Bisevac and David Ducourtioux for VA either side of Mamadou Niang's fifth of the season - left it level. Chances flowed throughout, but Rafael Schmitz was the only one to breach either defence with a late winner. That leaves just Lyon and Bordeaux yet to taste defeat and both were winners at the weekend. Lyon came from behind at Stade Gerland, Yannis Tafer and Bafetimbi Gomis with second half goals to overhaul Toulouse for whom Moussa Sissoko had opened the scoring early on. Bordeaux just needed a single goal against Rennes, the Brazilian Wendel heading home midway through the first half.
That leaves the top two with a bit of a buffer zone to the next group which includes Marseille and Rennes. Also in there are Montpellier who won yet again to maintain their great start, Nenad Dzodic with the only goal of the game. PSG came from behind to draw with Lorient, Guillaume Hoarau off the mark for the season when he equalised Arnold Mvuemba's opener. Monaco, though, lost touch a little after defeat at home to lowly St Etienne. Boubacar Sanogo got Les Verts in front and though Sebastien Puygrenier equalised, Gonzalo Bergessio won it in stoppage time.
Fun and games in Auxerre where Ireneusz Jelen and David Jemmali were both sent off on 21 minutes. Grenoble's Jemmali went through Jelen from behind and the Pole's angry reaction sparked a brawl. Once the referee calmed it down, he had little option but to dismiss both players. Auxerre reacted better to the reduction to ten-a-side and second half goals from Benoit Pedretti and Cedric Hengbart left Greonble still seeking their first points of the season. Lille and Nice are both down at the wrong end of the table after a draw, Pierre-Alain Frau equalising late on to Loic Remy's opener. Le Mans pulled themselves away from immediate danger with a comfortable win over Lens. Frédéric Thomas scored twice in the first half and Anthony Le Tallec wrapped it up just after the hour mark. Sochaux are also at the wrong end after defeat in Nancy for whom Youssouf Hadji scored twice - one from the penalty spot. Sochaux could only muster a late consolation from Marvin Martin in reply.
