Third-placed Paris St Germain lost ground in the Ligue 1 title race when they slumped to a 2-0 home defeat against Monaco on Sunday after wins for their main rivals.
Five days after humbling Barcelona 4-1 in the Champions League, the French champions lacked stamina and inspiration as they fell four points behind leaders Lille who have 58 points from 26 games after beating Lorient 4-1 on Sunday.
Niko Kovac's men broke the deadlock on six minutes when 20-year-old Sofiane Diop headed in on from six yards out following a rapid counterattack.
The points were sealed three minutes after the break when Guillermo Maripan dispossessed Ander Herrera and slotted the ball calmly into the far corner past Keylor Navas.
Fourth-placed Monaco, who have now won eight of their last nine league games, are now two points off PSG.
Olympique Lyonnais are second on 55 points following a 3-2 win at Brest on Saturday.

this is the face I wanted to see... the way he reacted when Dest touched him shows his ego which is destroyed now... respect is something you need take and give not just take.

Barça’s defense makes everyone look good. I think Mbappe wouldn’t have got a hat trick if it wasn’t for garbage Leglet and Pique
