Grenoble remain rooted to the foot of the table after a 4-0 drubbing from Rennes in a game twice interrupted by flares and fireworks being launched into the pitch. Asamoah Gyan scored twice amid the referee's interventions, one in the first minute and a penalty on the hour with Sylvain Marveaux and Kader Mangane also on target. Down on the Riviera, things were much worse as fights broke out on the stands prompting the police to wade in with their usual Gallic charm. Monaco won again as the game continued despite the bother off the field, Nené with an early penalty and two goals from Alejandro Alonso sealing the deal, Loic Remy with Nice's only score.
Bordeaux remain on top with a 2-0 win at Boulogne, Yoan Gouffran and Yoann Lachor's penalty doing enough for the champions. They're out in front on their own as Lyon could only draw, 1-1 at PSG. Ludovic Giuly put the Parisians in front on the half hour before Bafetimbi Gomis levelled it five minutes from the end. Marseille got back on track with an impressive win over Montpellier who had been going well. Three goals around the half hour blew René Girard's side away, Lucho Gonzalez, Mamadou Niang and Edouard Cissé with the goals which came in an eight-minute burst. Souleymane Diawara made it four just after the break and that was that, the cue going back on the rack at that point. Younes Belhanda and a penalty from Souleymane Camara were consolation for a well beaten Montpellier.
St Etienne and Auxerre both remain at the wrong end of the table after their 1-1 draw. Gonzalo Bergessio put Les Verts in front with Kevin Lejeune equalising twenty minutes from time. Performance of the day was from Valenciennes, 5-2 winners away at Sochaux who ended with ten men following the late dismissal of Vaclav Sverkos. Jeremie Bréchet put Sochaux ahead on three minutes, but Carlos Sanchez levelled it half way through the opening period. Ryad Boudebouz sent Sochaux into the break in front, but the second half was all VA. Gregory Pujol scored twice, either side Johan Audel and Fahid Ben Khalfallah goals and the red card for Sverkos. Lorient beat Nancy quite comfortably, Sigamary Diarra and Kevin Gameiro putting Les Merlus into a comfort zone before some late excitement with Paul Efoulou grabbing one back in the last minute before Olivier Monterubbio's penalty deep into stoppage time restored the two-goal lead.
Toulouse won for just the second time this season, seeing off Le Mans with goals either side of the break from Etienne Didot and the highly rated Moussa Sissoko and there was more fun and games in the northern derby in Lens where Lille were indebted to Adil Rami for rescuing a point after they were reduced to ten men, Yohan Cabaye managing to get sent off a minute after coming off the bench after going through Abdoulrazak Boukari, who had earlier put Lens in front, with a shocking challenge. Lens had much the better chances, but paid for failure to capitalise when Rami met Rio Mavuba's cross and head home.
