Lens took full advantage of PSG and Marseille’s poor results, climbing to the top of Ligue 1 with a 2–1 win at Angers. Florian Thauvin delivered a brilliant performance, scoring twice and guiding the Sang et Or to first place for the first time since 2004.
Despite a late push from Angers and a cancelled penalty, Lens held on. Marseille, meanwhile, failed to seize the chance and let the top spot slip away.
Lille also made a crucial move, stealing a 1–0 victory at Le Havre thanks to an 88th-minute goal from Hamza Igamane on a pass from Ethan Mbappé. Down to ten men after Bouaddi’s red card, Lille dug deep, climbed to 4th place, and left Le Havre stuck in 14th after a fourth straight game without a win.

According to Statsdufoot, this is the first time PSG have not been league leaders after 14 matchdays since the 2020–21 season — a year in which Paris finished second behind Lille. The same scenario occurred in 2016–17, when Monaco eventually won the title.
With Champions League pressure, a long injury list and stronger competition than in recent years, PSG may be heading toward a much harder Ligue 1 campaign than expected. The title race hasn’t been this open in a very long time.
