Lille see off Monaco to move third
YOUR E-MAIL ALERTSPARIS, France -- Lille upset out-of-form Monaco 1-0 on Sunday to move up to third place in the French first division. Substitute Peter Odemwingie scored the winner just before the hour when Lille were down to 10 men after striker Jean Makoun was sent off for a dangerous tackle on midfielder Jaroslav Plasil. They are one point ahead of Auxerre who beat Toulouse 2-0 on Saturday. Lille narrowed the gap on Bordeaux, who were held 3-3 at home by bottom side Metz on Saturday, to six points while champions Lyon slumped 4-1 at home to Rennes for only their second defeat of the season. Despite this mishap, Lyon retain their lead with 59 points from 27 matches with Bordeaux six points adrift. In the last match of the day, Marseille overcame a tough challenge from Nice to snatch a 1-0 success at the Stade Velodrome. Striker Toifilou Maoulida slotted home a fine pass from Mickael Pagis in the 66th minute to give his side their first league success in three matches. Marseille, who qualified for the UEFA Cup last 16 on Thursday, moved from eighth to fifth in the table on 43 points.
