The struggle continues.

The suspense too.

Thanks to their successes, Marseille and Lens remain on the Ligue 1 podium, tied on points with PSG, who beat Toulouse, at the end of the 5th day.

An evening marked by an avalanche of goals with 37 achievements.

A real firework.

Lens all fire all flame

Spectacle, suspense and goals.

The top-of-the-table duel between Lens and Lorient, respectively 3rd and 5th before kick-off, kept all its promises.

At the end of a magnificent duel, the Lensois won (5-2) to the delight of the spectators at the Bollaert-Delelis stadium.

Lens, which remained on 7 home games in Ligue 1 with at least 2 goals scored (17 goals in total), respected the tradition.

Sotoca (24th), who will score twice (his 6th goal of the season), and a gem from Wesley Saïd, author of a slalom between five defenders (28th), allow the Sang et Or to take the lead in four minutes ( 2-0, 28th).

Lorient did not admit defeat and came back to score thanks to a double from Moffi (41st, 50th).

But the hope is short-lived.

Carried by its public and a flamboyant game, Lens multiplies the opportunities and realizes a real offensive festival.

Marseille remains in ambush

A week before the trip to Tottenham on the first day of the Champions League, the Marseillais confirmed their good start to the season with a success against Clermont (1-0).

It's the 6th game in a row in the league where OM have found the net.

But this victory took a long time to emerge.

Faced with Clermontois united in defense, the partners of Dimitri Payet multiply the opportunities… in vain.

At the break, Marseille had already shot 14 times - no chance for Clermont - Valentin Rongier and Nuno Tavares hit the crossbar.

It finally takes a header from Pape Gueye, on a corner from Payet, to finally see the Vélodrome explode with joy (49th).

At the end of the game, Alexis Sanchez missed the break penalty.

Monaco humiliated by Troyes

A real nightmare!

Three days after bringing back a good share of points from their trip to the Parc des Princes on Sunday (1-1), Monaco fell from above.

Faced with verve Trojans, the Monegasques, who had opened the scoring by Maripan (10th), were humiliated (2-4) against an opponent against whom they had not known failure since... 2012 and an eighth League Cup final (i.e. 6 matches).

Lyon is happy

Held in check last week in Reims (1-1), Lyon took advantage of the arrival of the promoted Auxerre to resume their march forward (2-1).

Without being flamboyant, the players of Peter Bosz, who have one match less than their opponents following the postponement of the trip to Lorient, win their third success of the season and remain in ambush at the foot of the podium.

Tetê scored his 4th goal in the Championship.

“Ten points in four games is good, appreciates the OL coach.

But we have not yet faced the opponents who are supposed to be at the top of the table at the end of the season.

Last year, against the same type of opposition, we did not have so many points.

So it's better.

“End of series on the other hand for Auxerre which remained on two victories and three games without defeat.
