The 19-year-old Origi, who is on loan from Liverpool and played for Belgium at the World Cup, opened the scoring in the 47th with a powerful header. He created the second goal for Portuguese midfielder Marco Lopes three minutes later.

Bordeaux can reclaim top spot if it draws away to Guingamp later Sunday.

Also, Marseille will be looking for a third straight win when it travels to Evian.

Two-time defending champion Paris Saint-Germain was held to a 1-1 draw at Rennes on Saturday - its third draw in five matches.
