PARIS (AP) — Lens moved to the top of the French league on Sunday with a 2-1 win at Angers, a day after Paris Saint-Germain faltered.

Recalled France winger Florian Thauvin scored a goal in each half for Lens, which has a one-point lead over PSG. The defending champion lost 1-0 at Monaco on Saturday for its second league defeat of the season — as many as all last season for PSG.

It was the fourth league win in a row for Lens, and seventh in its last eight matches. Its only setback during that run was a 2-0 loss at Metz in October.

Thauvin scored in the 45th with a powerful shot into the top corner and in the 74th, while the hosts’ goal came from Harouna Djibirin in the 76th.
