Paris extends lead in Ligue 1 standings with victory over rivals, Marseille returns to top three.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) extended their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings with a convincing win against fellow title rivals, Marseille on Saturday.

The match was a closely contested affair, but PSG emerged victorious thanks to some excellent individual performances from their players. Key performers included Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Jr., who were instrumental in securing the win for their team.

Marseille, meanwhile, remained in third place after their defeat to Paris, which saw them drop down to third in the table. This result means that they now sit just two points behind Paris, and could be in danger of falling further behind if they fail to pick up any more points this season.

Despite the loss, Marseille's manager, Lucien Favre, praised his team's performance despite the defeat. He said: "We created a lot of chances and had some good moments, but we didn't convert them into goals. We have to work hard to improve our defensive structure and find ways to score goals."

Overall, it was a positive weekend for PSG, as they continued to maintain their position at the top of the league. However, there is still plenty of competition for the title, and Marseille will need to improve their form if they want to stay in contention for the title.
