Paris Saint-Germain produced a second half comeback to seal a 2-1 win over Lens.
Scorers: Nzola 36'; Ruiz 59', Barcola 86'
M'Bala Nzola stunned the defending champions in the first half by bringing down a stray corner at the far post before drilling the ball home from close range.
But Luis Enrique's side pulled level just before the hour mark as Bradley Barcola evaded the offside trap before teeing up Fabián Ruiz for a swept finish.
The provider became Les Parisiens' match-winner five minutes from the end of 90 minutes as he lashed the ball in after receiving João Neves' perfectly-weighted pass.
Barcola's heroics ensured PSG opened up a 10-point cushion at Ligue 1's summit, with second-placed Marseille taking on Strasbourg tomorrow.
