Paris Saint-Germain claimed a share of second place in Ligue 1 with a 2-1 win at Nancy.
Early goals from Lucas Moura and Edinson Cavani appeared to set the champions on their way to a comfortable victory but they had to withstand a second-half fightback from Nancy.
Alou Diarra pulled one back for the hosts in the 55th minute and the result was in the balance as full-time approached.
But PSG saw out the closing stages to secure the win that moved them level on points with Monaco, who suffered a 3-1 defeat at Toulouse on Friday night.
Casimir Ninga continued his hot streak with a brace as 10-man Montpellier held on for a 3-2 win against Caen.
Ninga, who scored a hat-trick at Dijon in his last match, opened the scoring after just three minutes and then netted what proved to be the winner in the 77th minute after Steve Mounie - the scorer of Montpellier's other goal - had been sent off.
Caen twice levelled through Alaeddine Yahia and Ivan Santini, but they could not make the most of their one-man advantage in the closing stages.
Guingamp are up to fifth after Sloan Privat's first-half goal gave them a 1-0 victory over Lille. Eder came close to an equaliser for Lille, but they have now lost five of their last six Ligue 1 matches.
Angers leapfrogged Bastia into eighth place thanks to a brace from Famara Diedhiou in a 2-1 win. The Senegal striker opened the scoring and then restored Angers' lead after Thievy had levelled for Bastia on the stroke of half-time.
Nantes beat Lorient 2-1 to make it back-to-back league victories. Nantes took the lead against the run of play through Yacine Bammou and were given a two-goal cushion by Guillaume Gillet.
Pierre-Yves Hamel scored on his league debut with 10 minutes remaining, but Lorient could not force an equaliser.
