Ligue 1 Review: Angers bounce back to sink Monaco, Hantz up and running at Montpellier
Angers beat Monaco 3-0 to breath new life into the battle for second in Ligue 1, while Montpellier began Frederic Hantz's reign in style.

Captain Cheikh N'Doye netted a brace as Angers closed the gap on Monaco in the battle for second place in Ligue 1 with a dominant 3-0 win over their rivals.
N'Doye was on target from close range twice before half-time before Mohamed Yattara, a loan signing from Standard Liege this month, opened his Angers account 10 minutes into the second half to seal the points.
The win ends a run of three consecutive defeats in all competitions for Stephane Moulin's side, who were thrashed 5-1 by runaway leaders Paris Saint-Germain last week, and moves them to within two points of second-placed Monaco.
Frederic Hantz got off to an ideal start as Montpellier coach, masterminding a 4-0 triumph at fellow strugglers Gazalec Ajaccio.
Mustapha Yatabare latched on to Ryan Boudebouz's long ball to open the scoring after 14 minutes and Jonas Martin converted a 41st-minute penalty.
Bryan Dabo won the spot kick and went on to net a second-half double, lifting Montpellier out of the bottom three - where they are replaced by Reims, 2-0 losers at Lorient due to a two-goal haul from Zargo Toure.
Lyon's miserable campaign continued as Brandao scored to give Bastia a 1-0 win over the seven-time champions, who have won just once in their past 10 Ligue matches.
