PARIS, May 6 -- With their respective three crucial points, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain were set to put the Ligue 1 title on suspension for another round.
Leaders Monaco won 3-0 at Nancy on Saturday, keeping a three-point cushion over PSG, who battered bottom-ranked Bastia 5-0 at Parc des Princes.
Monaco took the lead on Nancy defender Tobias Badila's own goal just three minutes into the game, before that was extended by Bernardo Silva, who headed in Thomas Lemar's cross from the left.
Kylian Mbappe, Monaco's 18-year-old sensation, took advantage of his speed to set up Lemar for a three-goal margin with four minutes to go.
PSG could keep their slim hope alive to defend the title with a lopsided win, which was, however, shadowed by Italian international Marco Verratti's controversial goal to put them 2-0 up.
Brazilian winger Lucas Moura snatched his 10th league goal of the season with an easy finish on Blaise Matuidi's assist in the 32nd minute.
Verratti doubled the hosts' lead just three minutes later, but in a seemingly controversial manner.
As Matuidi went down in Bastia's penalty area and the ball went out for a throw, the visitors' goalkeeper Jean-Louis Leca went off the goal to check on the PSG midfielder.
Then, the defending champions took on a fast throw, and Verratti smashed the ball into the corner of the net, leaving a furious Leca to protest the refereeing, only to receive a yellow card.
