Monaco trimmed Nice's lead at the top of Ligue 1 to three points as Leonardo Jardim's side thrashed Nancy 6-0 at the Stade Louis II.

Radamel Falcao scored a brace to add to his Champions League double in midweek. The Colombian forward headed home from close range before slotting home from the penalty spot after Diallo Guidileye clumsily brought down Fabinho inside the area.

Kylian Mbappe added a third goal midway through the second half when Nancy failed to clear Benjamin Mendy's cross before two late goals from Guido Carrillo and one from Fabinho stretched the hosts' unbeaten run to five games in all competitions.

Nill De Pauw's last-minute equaliser saw Guingamp earn a 3-3 at Dijon. The visitors, who were searching for their fourth straight league win, trailed 3-1 in the first-half as goals from Cedric Varrault, Lois Diony and Julio Tavares put Dijon ahead.

Marcus Regis Coco briefly pegged one back for Guingamp in the first-half but Alexandre Mendy trimmed Dijon's lead to one before De Pauw popped up to claim a point.

Dijon are now unbeaten in six games while Guingamp stay fourth.

Lyon were 2-1 winners against nine-man Bastia at the Parc Olympique Lyonnais.
