Marseille ensured Paris Saint-Germain will have to wait another 24 hours before securing the Ligue 1 crown after keeping their remote title hopes alive with a 2-1 victory over Toulouse on Saturday. Andre Ayew returned from suspension to score twice at the Stade Velodrome, while Eden Ben Basat struck a late consolation as Marseille cut PSG's lead at the summit to four points with the league leaders in action at Lyon on Sunday. "It wasn't an easy victory against a very good opponent this evening," said Marseille boss Elie Baup.

Ten-man Paris Saint-Germain blew a chance to effectively wrap up their first Ligue 1 title since 1994 on Sunday as they were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Valenciennes. Gael Danic put the visitors ahead on 17 minutes, while PSG captain Thiago Silva was shown a controversial first-half red card at Parc des Princes before Alex earned Carlo Ancelotti's side a point late on. The result saw PSG, who own a far superior goal difference to that of second-place Marseille, have their lead at the top trimmed to seven points with three games remaining, while Valenciennes stayed 12th.

Marseille ensured champions-elect Paris Saint-Germain will have to wait another week before they can clinch the Ligue 1 crown after beating Bastia 2-1 on Saturday. Andre-Pierre Gignac struck twice, either side of Florian Thauvin's equaliser just after half-time, to take his season's tally to 13 as Marseille closed the gap on leaders PSG, who host Valenciennes on Sunday, to six points with three games remaining.
