Ligue 1 wrap: Title beckons for Lille

Lille have all but wrapped up the Ligue 1 title after a 1-0 win over Sochaux on Wednesday put them six points clear at the top of the table.

With two games remaining and a superior goal-difference over the chasing Marseille, Lille would have to suffer two hefty defeats to throw away the title.

Ivory Coast attacker Gervinho scored the only goal of the game on 53 minutes after an assist from Moussa Sow.

It was enough to extend Lille’s unbeaten run in all competitions to eight games, while defeat leaves Sochaux in sixth.

Paris Saint-Germain missed their chance to move into third after they suffered a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Bordeaux.

Mali attacker Cheick Diabate hit a sixth-minute penalty to move Bordeaux into eighth.

PSG, who are fourth, could have moved into Lyon’s UEFA Champions League spot with a win but instead remain two points behind.

They also need to hold off fifth-placed Stade Rennes, who are two points behind them.
