Find the main information to remember after the 10th day of Ligue 1, which notably saw Monaco and Reims sink and Auxerre and Nice confirm.
The best: Auxerre
Despite an “energy-intensive” game, by the admission of its coach Christophe Pélissier, Auxerre is increasingly attractive, for its return to Ligue 1 after a year of absence. The promoted Icaunais signed a third success in five matches on Sunday, crushing the Rennais with Julien Stéphan more in the hot seat than ever (4-0), thanks in particular to a double from Gaëtan Perrin. And here is the AJA in 10th place before moving to Marseille, to confirm its rise in power.
The flop: Reims
After a dream start to the season, Stade de Reims has fallen into line. The Marnais, long at the foot of the podium, recorded a third consecutive loss on Sunday, again by a goal difference. After the defeats in Auxerre and against Brest by the same score (1-2), the Luka Elsner men lost on Sunday in Toulouse (0-1), on a goal from Zakaria Aboukhlal at the end of the match. Very clumsy Rémois, like Oumar Diakité, who slip to 8th place.
The best player: Evann Guessand (Nice)
Under the orders of Franck Haise, he has become indestructible. And he can't stop scoring! Already a scorer six days earlier in the derby won by Nice against Monaco (2-1), Evann Guessand gave the Aiglons victory on Saturday in Brest (1-0). The 23-year-old Ivorian international striker signs his 6th goal of the season, as many as in the last year, and asserts himself as the main offensive danger of the Riviera club, which climbs into the Top 5.
The key figures
Zero
Winner by the narrowest margin of Lens on Saturday (1-0), PSG consolidated its first place, and remains the only elite club not to have the slightest defeat in Ligue 1. Among the five main European championships , there are now only two left undefeated in their respective leagues, PSG and Bayern Munich, to whom the Parisians travel on November 26 in the Champions League.
2
Like the number of consecutive defeats for AS Monaco. While the Rocher players were still undefeated eight days ago, they lost pitifully on Friday against Angers (0-1), after having suffered the law of their neighbors Nice in the derby (1-2). As a result, they slip to third place and leave the runner-up place of PSG to the Marseillais, on goal difference (+8 against +11).
