Andre-Pierre Gignac’s late goal sent Olympique Marseille to the top of French League on Sunday following 1-0 win at defending champions Montpellier who are suffering their worst start to a season in 15 years.
Big-spending Paris St Germain, who spent millions to bring in European greats including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, were held to a boring goalless home draw by Girondins Bordeaux.
Marseille, who were disappointed with their 10th place finish last season, are on nine points while Montpellier lie 18th with one point, without a win after three games for the first time since the 1997-98 season.
In Montpellier, in-form Gignac netted from the left on 77 minutes thanks to a blunder from goalkeeper Geoffrey Jourdren, after Morgan Amalfitano took advantage of a Daniel Congre mistake to steal the ball just outside the box.
