PARIS (AP) — Striker Gaetan Laborde scored the winner as Nice beat Lille 1-0 to end the northern side’s six-game unbeaten run in the French league on Sunday.
Laborde netted in the 34th minute after Hicham Bouanani intercepted a poor back pass and set him up for a first-time finish. Lille had not lost in the league since Oct. 30.
Later Sunday, league leader Paris Saint-Germain was looking to move five points clear at the top with a home win against mid-table Brest, and Corsican side Ajaccio hosted Lyon.
