PSG moves closer to record-extending 13th French league title with 3-1 win against Marseille

PARIS — Paris Saint-Germain has moved closer to a record-extending 13th French league title with a 3-1 win over second-placed Marseille. Still unbeaten in the league this season, PSG extended its lead over its bitter rival to 19 points with just eight rounds remaining. Substitutes Malick Fofana and Georges Mikautadze both scored to help Lyon rally past Le Havre 4-2. The match between bottom side Montpellier and fellow struggler Saint-Etienne was abandoned after a fire broke out in a stand due to flares thrown by home fans. Montpellier was trailing 2-0 after Lucas Stassin scored twice for the visitors when the match was stopped by referee Francois Letexier.
