Paris St Germain overcame Lyon in Sunday's top-of-the-table clash in Ligue 1, while Lille beat Rennes and Marseille drew with Brest.
PSG and Lyon were neck-and-neck at the summit ahead of their clash at the Parc des Princes, but the capital club won 2-0 on home soil to open up a three-point advantage.
There were no goals in the first half but PSG finally managed to break through in the 64th minute courtesy of big-money summer signing Javier Pastore.
Lyon battled hard in an effort to get back into the game but could not find an equaliser and substitute Christophe Jallet notched a second for the hosts just before the final whistle.
