Marseille and Monaco drop points as they chase PSG

Marseille and Lille cancelled each other out, 1-1, at the Velodrome. Marseille remained second, on goal difference, when third-place Monaco drew 0-0 at Reims in the late game. The pair are four points behind PSG, who play in-form Lyon on Sunday, and three ahead of Lille. Lens moved up to sixth after coming from behind twice to draw 2-2 at Auxerre. In Marseille, Quentin Merlin gave the home team a 17th-minute lead but Bafode Diakite levelled for the visitors. Both coaches were inclined to say their glasses were half full.
