"I thought that Matuidi might be hurt, so I went to help him up," said Leca in a postgame interview.

But for PSG head coach Unai Emery, Verratti didn't go against the spirit of fair play.

After his two goals were disallowed, one for offside and the other for a teammate's violation, top scorer Edinson Cavani put the ball over the line in the 76th minute, and scored his 33rd goal in the campaign late in the game. He also saw a spot kick saved by Leca between his two goals.

The other one goal went to center-back Marquinhos, who comfortably poked the ball into an empty net.

Monaco, who have a game in hand, can ensure their first league title since 2000 with four points from the following three matches. Actually, a home win against Lille next Sunday could be be sufficient to that due to their superior goal difference over PSG.

Bastia remained bottom on the table, one point adrift Nancy. The two sides had an uphill challenge to avoid their relegation with only two matches to go.

Elsewhere, Guingamp crushed over Dijon 4-0, Lille lost to Metz 2-0, Lorient recorded a 1-1 tie with Angers, and Toulouse fell 1-0 to Caen.

Third-ranked Nice will visit Marseille, who sit sixth with an eye on next season's Europa League berth, on Sunday.
