Monaco remain in second spot, a huge 22 points behind defending champions Paris Saint-Germain while Caen are third, eight points further back.

Julien Feret levelled after 64 minutes with a penalty awarded when Brazilian defender Wallace was punished for a hand ball.
Four minutes later, Monaco were back in front when Alaeddine Yahia put through his own goal as he struggled to clear a cross from Bernardo Silva.
Ivory Coast’s Kouakou then ensured a share of the spoils with an acrobatic strike from a last-minute corner.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Laurent Blanc has admitted that a hamstring injury suffered by midfielder Blaise Matuidi “does not look good” with a crunch Champions League clash with Chelsea less than a week away.
Matuidi came off in the second half of Wednesday’s 3-1 French Cup quarter-final win away to Saint-Etienne feeling his hamstring.
Blanc said at the time the substitution was a precautionary measure but with the Champions League last 16, second leg against Chelsea to come next Wednesday it was always going to be a race against time for the player to recover.
“I am worried when a player comes off with a sore hamstring. He has undergone tests (on Thursday) and he is having more,” said Blanc.
“We will keep a close eye on it. It is never a good sign, I won’t lie. But we will see how serious it is and if we can get him back, not for tomorrow (Saturday) but for Chelsea.”
Paris will go to London defending a 2-1 lead from the first leg against Chelsea.
