BORDEAUX: With the Ligue 1 title already wrapped up, Paris St Germain remain on course to reach 100 points after scraping a 1-0 win at Girondins Bordeaux on Sunday.

Midfielder Giovani Lo Celso’s 77th-minute strike from the edge of the penalty area moved PSG onto 90 points, and a massive 20 ahead of deposed champions Monaco.

PSG have already won the League Cup and are through to the French Cup final next month. They need three wins and a draw from the last four rounds to guarantee 100 league points.

Earlier on Sunday, Nice kept alive their hopes of clinching a Europa League berth after a Pierre Lees-Melou goal gave them a 1-0 win over Montpellier while St Etienne came from behind to beat struggling Troyes 2-1 thanks to a Robert Beric double.
