Souleymane Camara's goal helped Montpellier to a narrow victory over Valenciennes as they opened up a five-point lead over Paris St Germain.
Champions Lille kept themselves in the title race with a vital away win. There were wins for St Etienne, Evian, Rennes and Nice while Marseille's winless run in was extended to 12 games.
An early goal from Souleymane Camara proved enough for Montpellier to eke out a narrow victory over Valenciennes and establish a five-point lead over Paris St Germain at the Ligue 1 summit. Camara put the hosts ahead after just four minutes and although Montpellier missed numerous chances to ease their nerves with a second, it proved enough for them to pull clear of PSG, who play their game in hand against Sochaux at the Parc des Princeon Sunday. Champions Lille kept themselves in the title race with a 2-0 victory at relegation-threatened Dijon in a match which saw three players sent off.
LOSC were a player down from the 36th minute, when Idrissa Gueye was sent off for violent conduct, but the visitors made light of their numerical disadvantage and notched twice before half-time through Rio Mavuba and Eden Hazard to seal the points. Dijon defender Abdoulaye Meite evened up the numbers when he too was dismissed for violent conduct in the first minute of the second half and Bennard Yao Kumordzi followed suit 13 minutes from time - putting paid to the hosts' hopes of getting anything from the game. The result was a fourth win in five games for Lille, and kept them seven points behind Montpellier with five games remaining, while Dijon were left in 16th place and only a point above the drop zone.
