There were seven matches played yesterday in the French championship.
The "Lyon" club moved up to second place by defeating "Guingamp" players. Bruno Genesio's players faced serious resistance, but managed to create more opportunities and convert some of them.
They took the lead in the first half with a goal from Nabil Fekir, and secured their victory in the 58th minute after a great assist from Ferlando Mendy to Houssem Aouar.
Later on, the "Nantes" team missed a chance to get closer to the top four, conceding a defeat against "Toulouse" in the final moments of the match.
Claudio Ranieri's team initially led with a goal from Rene Krhin, but in added time Max-Alain Gradel was able to earn and convert a penalty.
The last match of the 21st round started a bit later. In this match, the "Paris Saint-Germain" club at home thoroughly enjoyed playing against "Dijon".
The league leaders took the lead in the fourth minute with a goal from Angel Di Maria, and the Argentine already had a brace before the end of the first half. He then assisted Edinson Cavani and scored with a header, as the visitors began to struggle.
Neymar, who returned to the PSG lineup, also made his mark before the break, extending the lead in the second half. The Brazilian scored his second goal in the 57th minute after a mistake from the opponents. Finally, the most expensive player in the world showcased his skills against the opponent's team and finished with a poker. Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe added another goal, resulting in an impressive 8-0 victory for the Parisians.
Winning three points allowed Unai Emery's protégés to maintain their lead at the top of the table. The Parisians continue to lead Lyon by 11 points.
