Ligue 1 Results | Round 7: PSG held to draw, Monaco reclaim top spot
Ligue 1 Results, Round 7
Before facing Newcastle United in the Champions League, a toothless Paris Saint-Germain have been held to an away goalless draw at relegation-battling Clermont. AS Monaco have reclaimed Ligue 1’s top spot following their thrilling 3-2 home win against Gennaro Gattuso’s Olympique de Marseille.
The Artois side have sealed their second consecutive league win in a row courtesy of Elye Wahi’s first goal with his new side. Franck Haise’s team is steadily improving after a disastrous start of the season. It remains to be seen just how much Lens would put up a fight against a rampant Arsenal side on Tuesday in the Champions League.

Luis Enrique’s Les Parisiens missed the opportunity to temporarily take Ligue 1’s top spot after failing to find cracks in a frail Clermont side. Both goalkeepers – Mory Diaw and Gianluigi Donnarumma – shone through. PSG will need to step up this week as the latter brings two difficult away games, at Newcastle United on Wednesday and then at Rennes on Sunday.
Despite a significant number of injured players, Adi Hütter’s side have reclaimed Ligue 1’s top spot in inflicting Gennaro Gattuso his first defeat as Marseille manager. Folarin Balogun’s first Monaco goal at Stade Louis-II and a brace from promising youth product Maghnes Akliouche cancelled out Iliman Ndiaye’s and Samuel Gigot’s early goals. Marseille fell to 12th place.
