Paris Extends Lead, Marseille Joins Top Three in Ligue 1 Round 23.

Paris Saint-Germain extended their lead at the top of the Ligue 1 table with a 3-1 win over Montpellier on Sunday. The victory saw PSG move six points clear of second-placed Lyon and leave Marseille, who had led for most of the season, just one point behind.

The result was all the more impressive given that Paris were without several key players including Neymar, Marco Verratti and Thiago Motta. Despite this, they were able to find the back of the net through Mauro Icardi, Angel Di Maria and Kylian Mbappe.

Marseille, meanwhile, have been struggling for form recently and were beaten by Strasbourg 4-1. However, they remain in third place in the league table after three wins from their last four games.

The match between Marseille and Paris was also notable for the return of former Marseille player Florian Thauvin, who scored a brace against his old club. Thauvin has struggled for form since joining Paris in January but his goal-scoring ability is still evident when he gets the chance.

Overall, it's been a tough few weeks for Marseille, who have lost two of their last three games and dropped down to fourth place in the table. On the other hand, PSG continue to dominate the Ligue 1 title race and look set to retain their crown for another season.
