Paris Saint-Germain leapfrogged Lens at the top of Ligue 1 thanks to Ousmane Dembele's double in a 3-0 home win against Lille.
France forward Dembele gave PSG a 1-0 half-time lead and added his second before Bradley Barcola's stoppage-time effort sealed Luis Enrique's 100th win as boss.

Monaco, in 12th place, seven points adrift of the top six, have not won a league game since the end of November and could slide further down the table over the weekend.
