Marseille and Lille share Ligue 1 spoils

The result left Marseille, who have a game in hand, two points behind second-placed Nice.

Turkey winger Cengiz Under equalised for Marseille with a brilliant curling strike into the right corner after a quick corner from Dimitri Payet in the 75th.

After Marseille goalkeeper Pau Lopez made a fine save from veteran Turkey striker Burak Yilmaz's shot, Dutch defender Sven Botman headed firmly in from the ensuing corner in the 15th minute.

It could have got worse as the alert Lopez kept out Yilmaz's point-blank header from Renato Sanches' cross moments later.

Despite having midfielder Benjamin Andre sent off for a second yellow card in the 32nd, Lille pushed forward and winger Jonathan Bamba drew a fine save from Lopez with a powerful shot.

Earlier on Sunday, Rennes bounced back in style from three straight defeats by routing struggling Bordeaux 6-0 at home to reclaim fourth place.

Fourth guarantees a place in next season's Europa League but Rennes are aiming for the top three and a spot in the Champions League.

Striker Gaetan Laborde and winger Martin Terrier each scored to reach 10 league goals apiece this season -- as many as Paris Saint-Germain star Kylian Mbappe.

Terrier put Rennes ahead and captain Benjamin Bourigeaud netted just before the break.

Laborde struck on the hour before Adrien Truffert scored in the 69th minute and fellow substitute Serhou Guirassy netted twice in the closing stages.

Philippe Clement's first home game in charge of Monaco was highlighted by two goals from France striker Wissam Ben Yedder in a 4-0 rout of Clermont Foot.

Monaco moved ahead of Lens on goal difference into fifth.

Strasbourg climbed to seventh after rallying to win 3-1 at home to Montpellier.

Striker Moussa Dembele's first-half penalty was enough for mid-table Lyon to win 1-0 at lowly Troyes.

Metz moved away from the relegation zone with a 1-0 win at Reims while strugglers Lorient drew 0-0 at home with Angers.
