Paris Saint-Germain were held to a 0-0 draw by Montpellier in the early Ligue 1 clash on Saturday.
The travelling side are now unbeaten in five Ligue 1 games after a frantic end to the game which saw shots from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Adrien Rabiot cleared by Laurent Pionnier to secure an important point.
Laurent Blanc made a number of changes ahead of PSG's midweek Champions League game with Chelsea that saw Christopher Nkunku handed his first Ligue 1 start.
The hosts, who are now 23 points clear at the top of the table, dominated the first 45 minutes with four of their five shots going on target but they could not find the back of the net.
Their best chance came from Edinson Cavani who was denied by the crossbar when he was picked out by captain Maxwell.
Montpellier failed to get a single shot on target throughout the game but upped their defensive efforts in the second half as PSG struggled to find a way into the area.
Nice reclaimed third place with a 2-1 defeat of bottom-club Troyes.
The hosts raced into an early lead when Valerie Germain hammered a volley past Matthieu Dreyer from close range.
Yoan Cardinale gifted Troyes a leveller, though, when the Nice stopper inexplicably allowed Corentin Jean's effort from the byline to creep inside his near post. But Nice reclaimed the lead with less than 20 minutes to play when an unmarked Traore volleyed beyond Dreyer.
Lille made it four games unbeaten at the Stade Pierre Mauroy and moved nine points clear of the bottom three thanks to a 2-0 win against 10-man Reims.
Les Dogues had to wait more than an hour to make a breakthrough, following a quiet opening 60 minutes, and it came in stunning fashion when Rony Lopes despatched a superb 20-yard free-kick beyond Johann Carrasso.
Mohamed Larbi scored an 89th-minute leveller as Ajaccio came from behind to secure a point in Bordeaux with a 1-1 draw.
Les Girondins had drawn first blood with Cheikh Diabate's penalty but were made to pay for missed chances when Ajaccio salvaged a point after Larbi's first-time effort was deflected beyond a wrong-footed Paul Bernardoni.
Angers and St Etienne both missed out on the chance to claim three vital points in the battle for a European spot following a 0-0 draw at the Stade Jean Bouin.
Bastia also endured a frustrating night at the Stade Armand Cesari as some wasteful finishing saw them draw 0-0 with fellow mid-table side Lorient.
