Noah Cadiou\u2019s second-half penalty for Lorient prevented Monaco returning to the top of Ligue 1 as they fell to a 1-0 defeat in Brittany on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Monaco are one of four teams level on points at the top of the table as they were joined by Paris FC, who edged Rennes 4-3 thanks to Lassine Sinayoko\u2019s injury-time penalty. Rennes dropped to fifth, a point behind, despite forward Est\u00e9ban Lepaul\u2019s hat-trick of penalties in Paris.<\/p>\n
That left champions Paris Saint-Germain, who beat Strasbourg 3-1 on Saturday, top on goals scored ahead of their cross-town rivals and Lille, with Monaco<\/a> just behind on goal difference. Lyon have a chance to overtake PSG when they host Nice later on Sunday.<\/p>\n Marseille picked up a much-needed win as they thumped Angers 5-2 to pull away from the relegation zone. Le Havre remain rooted to the foot of the table as Cameroon forward Danny Namaso\u2019s double helped Auxerre come away from Normandy with a 3-1 victory.<\/p>\n Ibrahim Maza and Patrik Schick combined to score two goals as Bayer Leverkusen came from behind to beat in-form Freiburg 2-1 in the Bundesliga on Sunday.<\/p>\n After a shock defeat to promoted Elversberg in the season opener, Leverkusen have now picked up 13 of a possible 18 points and sit fourth, level with third-placed Freiburg<\/a> \u2013 who host Bayern Munich next weekend \u2013 on points.<\/p>\n Rock bottom Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach are still searching for a first point of the season after losing 2-1 at home against fellow strugglers Hoffenheim.<\/p>\n Hoffenheim\u2019s Bambas\u00e9 Cont\u00e9 opened the scoring with his second goal in two games since a surprise call-up to the Germany squad in October. Wael Mohya levelled for the hosts just after the break but Alexander Prass put Hoffenheim back in front shortly afterwards as the visitors, who host Lyon<\/a> in the Europa League on Thursday, won just their second game of the season.<\/p>\n Nico Paz climbs above the Fiorentina defence to head Como\u2019s second goal.

Anastasios Douvikas netted early in the second period to put to bed any hope of a Fiorentina comeback and keep the hosts locked in the relegation zone on four points.<\/p>\n
