Monaco have secured a second-straight win to start the French league, triumphing 2-0 over still goalless Lyon, who felt the frustration of their home fans.
Both goals came in the second half from young talents, 19-year-old Eliesse Ben Seghir of Morocco and 20-year-old Lamine Camara of Senegal.
Camara got his second yellow card deep in stoppage time but Monaco held on to their lead.
The frustration of the Lyon fans was clear as boos echoed through the Parc OL stadium at the final whistle.
Also Saturday, Lille beat newly promoted Angers 2-0.
Thomas Meunier, the Belgium defender who joined Lille during the summer transfer window, opened the scoring in the first half.
Despite a late push from Angers in the second half, Mohamed Bayo secured the win with a clinical finish in stoppage time following a strong counterattack.
Lille’s victory puts them level with Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco at the top of the standings, all with six points. PSG lead on goal difference at this early stage.
Angers, still searching for their first win since returning to Ligue 1, remain near the bottom of the table.
Le Havre defeated Saint-Etienne 2-0 in the late game with a penalty from midfielder Abdoulaye Touré and a header from team captain Arouna Sangante. It was Le Havre’s first win of the season.
Saint-Etienne, a historic club in France who rejoined the top tier after a quick spell in Ligue 2, are still without a win this season.
