PSG suffer defeat, wins for Nice, Sochaux, Evian and Auxerre


Paris St Germain suffered what could be a crucial blow to their Ligue 1 title hopes as they were beaten 2-1 at Nancy on Saturday, while bottom side Auxerre won.

Starting the day level on points with Montpellier at the top, Carlo Ancelotti's Paris St Germain could have moved three points clear with a win, with their rivals not in action until Sunday.
Nancy had other ideas, though, taking the lead through Bakaye Traore and then winning it with Yohan Mollo's 89th-minute strike after Mohamed Sissoko had levelled.
Nice climbed out of the relegation zone by coming from behind to secure a dramatic 3-2 victory over St Etienne at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Les Verts, looking to re-ignite their hopes of European football next season, took the lead in the 16th minute through Max Gradel and were 2-1 up at the break thanks to Sylvain Marchal's 42nd-minute header after Anthony Mounier had equalised. But the struggling visitors stunned their hosts after the interval, Mounier's second of the night levelling things up before Francois Clerc's winner two minutes from time.
Lorient remained in a precarious position towards the bottom of the table after falling to a disappointing 1-0 home defeat against Evian.
With just four points separating themselves from the drop zone prior to kick-off, Christian Gourcuff's men knew a three-point haul would provide them with a much-needed boost heading into the final fixtures. It was not to be, though, with Brice Dja Djedje's 19th-minute goal enough to keep Les Croix de Savoie tucked away safely in mid-table.
