Paris Saint-Germain, Lens and Marseille were all held to draws, Lyon got back to winning ways and Brest boosted their survival hopes in a relegation six-pointer. Check out the action from Round 20 of Ligue 1 Uber Eats here!

PSG held by Reims

Reims snatched a deserved added-time equaliser to draw 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain at the Parc des Princes.

Neymar  opened the scoring (51') but the champions were reduced to ten men when Marco Verratti was sent off for a reckless tackle. Reims had the final say when Folarin Balogun levelled deep into added time, to preserve their unbeaten run stretching back to September.

"At the moment, far too many players are not at their level," said a disappointed and frustrated PSG coach Christophe Galtier. "We cannot be satisfied with our game and our results. There will be decisions to be made to find a much more solid team. We have to recreate competition because we have fallen into a comfort zone."

Lens held at Troyes

Lens were held to a 1-1 draw against Troyes at the Stade de l'Aube.

Yasser Larouci's low-driven effort handed Troyes a shock lead (50') but new signing Adrien Thomasson rescued a point two-minutes from time to extend Lens' unbeaten league run to ten games.

"I'm pleased that we didn't lose the game and how we went in search of the equaliser," said Lens coach Franck Haise. "I'm disappointed that we didn't take three points from a match that we dominated. We did a lot of things very well, but we need more accuracy and precision in the final third."

First-half goals from Jérémy Le Douaron (14') and Steve Mounié (34') put Eric Roy's side in the ascendency. Franck Honorat (59') and Pierre Lees-Melou (84') added two more to finish off an Angers side who have now lost 12 league games in a row.
