Rennes clung on to top spot in Ligue 1 on Sunday after scrabbling to a 2-2 home with Reims which allowed Lille to move level on points with the leaders with a 3-0 win at Strasbourg. Rennes were leading at the break and were set to go back clear in first place but Boulaye Dia barged through the home defence before slotting home the goal that would give Reims a point in the 66th minute. Lille meanwhile stormed to victory in Alsace thanks to goals from Zeki Celik, Renato Sanches and Burak Yilmaz which maintained their unbeaten start to the season. Both sides are on 14 points, one ahead of newly-promoted Lens, who drop down to third but are on a storming run after beating 10-time league champions Saint-Etienne 2-0 on Saturday. Paris Saint-Germain meanwhile are lurking ominously a further point back in fourth after destroying Angers 6-1 on Friday night. Lyon and Marseille have a chance to get their slow starts back on track when they face each other at the Groupama Stadium later on Sunday. td/iwd
