Defending champion Lille kept alive its slim French league title hopes by winning 1-0 at Nice on Wednesday after Eden Hazard set up Tulio De Melo's early goal.
Hazard, who has been valued at $32 million and linked to bigger European clubs, jinked down the wing and floated over a perfect cross for the Brazilian striker to head into the net in the sixth minute.
The win moved Lille provisionally above Paris Saint-Germain and into second place, but PSG could reclaim second spot and trim leader Montpellier's advantage to three points by beating Saint-Etienne at home later Wednesday.
Montpellier missed a penalty in the fourth minute of injury time in a 2-2 draw with Evian on Tuesday night.
