Cesc Fabregas struck the winner for struggling Monaco in a much-needed 2-1 win against Toulouse in Ligue 1 on Saturday.
The midfielder latched onto a loose ball in the penalty area following good work down the left from Gelson Martins, and thumped the ball in just under the crossbar midway through the second half.
The win moved eight-time French champion and former Champions League finalist Monaco up one place into 18th and the promotion-relegation spot.
Russia midfielder Aleksandr Golovin put Monaco ahead in the 16th minute, only for towering Toulouse centre-half Christopher Jullien to equalise four minutes later. It was 2017 Ligue 1 champion Monaco's first home win of the season.
Mario Balotelli made his first start in attack since joining Marseille, but it made little difference as the defence crumbled again in losing at Reims 2-1.
Reims were 2-0 up when forward Clinton NJie's looping header got Marseille back into the game, but his 86th-minute goal came too late for last season's Europa League runner-up.
This latest defeat increases the pressure on Marseille coach Rudi Garcia, whose objective was to secure a Champions League place next season. Instead, his side is in 10th place and conceding too many goals.
Amiens dropped down to 19th on goal difference after losing 1-0 at Rennes. Defender Mehdi Zeffane grabbed a late winner with a clever flick inside the front post after being set up by striker M'Baye Niang's neat footwork down the left.
Striker Stephane Bahoken also netted his seventh league goal as Angers beat Dijon 1-0 at home.
