Champions Lyon pulled further ahead of the pack in French league action on Sunday with a 5-0 rout of Strasbourg as their nearest rivals Nancy fell 2-1 at Le Mans.
Lyon's goal-fest, which included a double from Swedish international Kim Kallstrom, stretched their advantage to six points as Nancy lost ground after suffering just their second defeat of the season on Saturday.
Kallstrom opened for the six-time champions after 13 minutes after a superb move between Francois Clerc, Juninho, Sidney Govou and Karim Benzema, and Juninho increased their advantage six minutes later with a free kick which left Stephane Cassard with no chance in the Strasbourg goal.
The pressure continued after the break with Benzema (65) adding a third and Clerc finishing off a Milan Baros pass for 12 minutes from time, with Kallstrom converting a penalty after 81 minutes.
Bordeaux, meanwhile, bounced back from last week's 5-0 rout at Caen to hold on to their third position with a hard-fought 4-3 win over visiting Toulouse on Sunday.
A double from Brazilian midfielder Wendel after seven and 39 minutes combined with Alou Diarra's 33rd-minute goal gave the Girondins a 3-0 advantage at the break.
But a hat trick from Swedish striker Johan Elmander revived Toulouse before Pierre Ducasse dashed their hopes three minutes from time, to leave the south-western side just one point above the drop zone.
Earlier on Sunday, Valenciennes' 3-0 win over Rennes saw them move up two places to fifth as the Brittany side dropped to seventh.
