PARIS: RC Lens’ nightmare week continued as they conceded a late goal to lose 2-1 at home to Olympique de Marseille in Ligue 1 on Sunday after a humiliating 9-1 thrashing in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Amine Gouiri scored early for Marseille, but Florian Thauvin pulled them level in the 20th.

Keyliane Abdallah struck with eight minutes rem­a­ining, to condemn the hosts to a third successive defeat in all competitions. The loss left Lens 11th and exten­ded their miserable run. Marseille, meanwhile, have climbed to fourth.

Earlier, Lille downed Rennes 2-1 to climb to second, while Nice, sixth, won 2-0 at Angers.

AS Monaco slipped to seventh after conceding a 90th-minute equaliser in a 1-1 draw at promoted Le Mans, 15th.
