Lille climbed above Paris Saint-Germain into second place in Ligue 1 with a 1-0 victory over Nice tonight.
Tulio De Melo scored the game's solitary goal on six minutes to give Lille their fourth straight win.
The match was a cagey affair with reported Manchester United and Manchester City target Eden Hazard unable to have a great influence on the game.
The hosts pushed for an equaliser in the second period but both Eric Mouloungui and Blackpool loanee Elliot Grandin wasted good opportunities.
Carlo Ancelotti's PSG can regain second spot with a win over Saint-Etienne later this evening.
