Ligue 1 Wrap: Monaco up to second with win

Claudio Ranieri's side moved above Lille in the table after Emmanuel Riviere struck his eighth goal of the season.

The striker pounced with 15 minutes remaining to ensure Monaco capitalised on the sending off of Jean-Baptiste Pierazzi and claimed a fourth straight win.

Vincent Enyeama's bid to break the record for consecutive minutes without conceding in Ligue 1 came to an end as Lille suffered a first defeat in 12, losing 1-0 at Bordeaux

That record stood at 1,176 minutes, but the Nigerian goalkeeper's run came to a halt at 1,062 when Landry N'Guemo scored with the aid of a deflection in the first half.

Elsewhere on Sunday, Montpellier's winless run was stretched to eight league games with a 1-1 draw against Toulouse.
