Lens have 15 points but are nine behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain who have a perfect eight wins from eight.
Marseille slipped back to third, a further point adrift but with a game in hand.

Lens were 2-0 ahead inside the first 27 minutes with Florian Sotoca scoring from the penalty spot and Polish international Przemyslaw Frankowski adding the second.

In a roller-coaster first-half, Dimitri Payet then pulled Marseille level with a goal in the 33rd minute and a stoppage time penalty.

But Wesley Said settled the clash for Lens with a 71st-minute winner after being set-up by the impressive Sotoca.
The match came after a stormy week for both clubs with Lens banning some fans for 18 months after a pitch invasion against bitter rivals Lille.

Marseille supporters, meanwhile, had clashed with Angers spectators in midweek.

Volland, like Ben Yedder also on target in the midweek victory over Saint-Etienne, struck early in the second half before Sofiane Diop added a late third as Niko Kovac's team climbed into the top half of Ligue 1.
