Monaco reclaimed fourth place in Ligue 1 with a comfortable 2-0 victory over struggling Lens at the Stade Louis II.

A brace from Nene, taking his tally for the season to seven, did the damage against last season's Ligue 2 champions, who were up against it right from the start.

Jean-Guy Wallemme's side remain in the bottom three, although still level on points with 17th-placed Le Mans.

Struggling Toulouse improved their fortunes with a deserved 1-0 win over inconsistent Paris St Germain.

Rookie France striker Andre-Pierre Gignac was the star turn for the home side as he provided significant creative impetus.

However, it was Albin Ebondo who struck the winner midway through the second half.

Lorient maintained their good start to the season with a comfortable 4-1 home win over struggling Nice.

While the Breton outfit had 14 points from eight games heading into the weekend, Nice were second-bottom despite having eight points so far.

And their misery continued on Sunday as Arnold Mvuemba, Marama Vahirua, Sigamary Diarra and Kevin Gameiro all scored in a strong performance by the home side.
