Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain were reliant on two second-half own goals as they extended their 100 per cent start to the season with an unconvincing 2-0 victory over Lyon.
It looked like a frustrating night for PSG and their expensively assembled attacking trio of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani until Lyon defender Marcelo inadvertently turned home a cross from substitute Giovani Lo Celso 15 minutes from time.
Uruguayan striker Cavani then had a penalty saved by Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes, before visiting defender Jeremy Morel put the result beyond doubt by diverting the ball into his own net in the 86th minute.
Victory for Unai Emery's team stretches their unbeaten home record to 38 games in all competitions to keep them top of the table, three points ahead of champions Monaco.
Marseille climbed to sixth after their three-game winless run was ended by Clinton N'Jie's quick-fire double in the 2-0 victory at Amiens.
Cameroon forward N'Jie converted from close range following Hiroki Sakai's right-wing centre in the 52nd minute before slotting his fifth goal in four league games into the bottom right corner three minutes later.
Mario Balotelli is another in-form striker and he earned Nice a 1-0 success at Rennes with his fourth goal in three games.
The former Manchester City and Liverpool player, who struck twice against Monaco last weekend and also scored in the midweek Europa League win at Zulte-Waregem, powerfully found the top right corner from a tight angle after racing onto Alassane Plea's pass with 10 minutes remaining.
Elsewhere, Nolan Roux headed the only goal as bottom club Metz picked up their first points of the season with a 1-0 victory which ended Angers' unbeaten record.
