Khazri (45th + 4) thought to revive his own from the penalty spot, but Gameiro (69th), Ajorque (73rd) and Diallo (85th) enjoyed themselves in the Forzian area.

6. Nantes spoils the Bordeaux anniversary. For its 140 years, Bordeaux must be satisfied with a draw against Nantes (1-1) in the Atlantic derby. After touching the bar, Hwang thought he could offer victory to the Girondins on a shot rolled from 20 meters (62nd), but Chirivella (75th) tied for the Canaries. The Bordelais were even very happy to see Corchia’s free kick then pushed back by the square. This is a fourth game without a win for the Aquitaine club, 17th.

Long led and without reaction against Reims (1-1), after a goal from Kebbal (12th), the Breton club finally accelerated in the second period to equalize an exceptional goal from Honorat, author of a incredible resumption of flight from 25 meters (74th). Michel Der Zakarian must hope that this jewel will be a click for his team, 19th in Ligue 1 with 5 points.

Roma retain their 4th place despite everything, while Juve are 7th.
11. Naples continues its crazy series! Pressured by AC Milan’s victory against Hellas Vrone (3-2) on Saturday, Napoli responded now against Torino (1-0). Luciano Spalletti’s men, who regained their leadership position, could have taken the lead after the half-hour mark, but Insigne missed his penalty. Coming back from the locker room, Di Lorenzo saw his goal rejected by the VAR for an offside position, and the Partenopei had to wait until the last ten minutes and a late realization of Osimhen, served by Elmas, to make the difference. (81st)! Enough to allow Napoli to match its crazy series of 8 wins in 8 games already achieved during the 2017-2018 season.
12. Atalanta takes revenge on Empoli. Held in check by Inter Milan (2-2) then beaten by AC Milan (2-3) in their last two league games, Atalanta has returned to success against Empoli (4-1).
