Brazil striker Neymar broke Troyes’ resistance as Paris St-Germain took a 10-point lead in Ligue 1 while Monaco lost ground by losing to Nantes.<\/p>\n
PSG wore down Troyes to win 2-0 thanks to second-half goals from their world-record signing and Edinson Cavani.<\/p>\n
Lucas Lima’s goal in the 92nd minute gave Claudio Ranieri’s Nantes a dramatic victory that pushed Monaco down into fourth place.<\/p>\n
Marseille won 3-0 at Metz to go second above Lyon, who lost 2-1 to Lille.<\/p>\n
Cavani had a first-half penalty saved by Troyes keeper Mamadou Samassa but Neymar broke the deadlock after 73 minutes with a left-footed shot from outside the box for his eighth goal of the season.<\/p>\n
Then at the end of normal time, Cavani made amends for his spot-kick profligacy with his 17th of this Ligue 1 campaign.<\/p>\n
Goals from Florian Thauvin, Luiz Gustavo and Lucas Ocampos stretched Marseille’s unbeaten run to nine games and moved them below PSG in the table.<\/p>\n
Ezequiel Ponce’s goal in the 40th minute proved to be the winner for Lille at Lyon, who dropped down a place from second.<\/p>\n
Nantes ended a two-game losing run at Monaco’s expense with Lima’s fierce shot deep into added time to stay in fifth.<\/p>\n
