Nicolas Pepe scored an injury-time penalty to salvage a point for second-placed Lille in a 1-1 draw at home to Reims on Sunday.

The hosts looked set to slip to an embarrassing defeat after Remi Oudin put Reims in front in the 64th minute.

The mid-table visitors were doing a good job of nullifying the threat of Lille, who had cemented second place with their victory at Montpellier.

But Lille grabbed a point with virtually the last kick of the match when Pepe fired home from the spot.

Struggling Caen twice came back from behind to earn a valuable 2-2 draw away to Strasbourg.

Pablo Martinez’s early strike was cancelled out by Faycal Fajr but Lebo Mothiba restored the home side’s lead within a minute.

Caen grabbed the point they needed to move one point clear of second-bottom Monaco when Saif Khaou fired home 10 minutes from time.

St Etienne’s match against Marseille was postponed due a fears of an escalation of the ‘Yellow Vest’ protests currently gripping France.
