PARIS, April 7 (Reuters) – Montpellier’s Younes Belhanda
inspired his team to a 2-1 home win against Sochaux as they
opened a three-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 on Saturday
while Lille’s title hopes were almost crushed by a 3-1 defeat at
Stade Brest.
Morocco midfielder Belhanda was in a class of his own,
scoring the first goal with Souleymane Camara adding the second
to put Montpellier, who play their game in hand at Olympique
Marseille on Wednesday, on 63 points with eight games left.
Champions Lille dropped seven points off the pace in third
place following their defeat at Stade Brest.
Second-placed Paris St Germain take on arch-rivals Marseille
at the Parc des Princes on Sunday.
