Lens extended their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to four points with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Toulouse on Friday evening.
Toulouse were reduced to 10 men after just 23 minutes when Emersonn was sent off before Lens secured a comfortable victory thanks to goals from Wesley Said, Adrien Thomasson and Ismaelo Ganiou.
The result puts Pierre Sage’s side four points behind champions PSG, who can close the gap to just one point with victory over Paris FC on Sunday.
In Italy, AC Milan leapfrogged city rivals Inter to the top of Serie A after a narrow 1-0 win over Cagliari.
Rafael Leao scored the only goal of the match in the 50th minute to secure a victory that lifted them two points above Inter, even though they played a game more.
Cristian Chivu’s men can regain first place on Sunday by winning against Bologna.
Elsewhere in Europe, La Liga returned with Rayo Vallecano and Getafe playing out a 1-1 draw.
Jorge de Frutos gave Rayo the lead in first-half stoppage time and the hosts thought they had done enough to claim all three points, but Mauro Arambarri’s 91st-minute equalizer ensured both teams took a share of the spoils.
The result moves Getafe up one place to 10th while Rayo move up to 12th in the table.
