Paris Saint-Germain will end the weekend as Ligue 1 leaders for the first time this season after overhauling Lyon who lost 2-1 at home to ten-man Nice on Saturday.
The Parisians beat Lorient 3-1 on Friday thanks to a hat-trick from their giant Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The result leaves Paris on 59 points from 30 games with Lyon, who had taken the Ligue 1 lead from Marseille in the first game of 2015, second a point behind.
Marseille, who are five points behind PSG in third, travel to Lens on Sunday night.
Should they win Marseille would draw to within a point of Lyon, and two of PSG, to send Ligue 1 into a three-way battle of nerves with just eight games to go.
Lyon had their star striker and talisman Alexandre Lacazette suspended for the match and visitors Nice were reduced to ten men when Lloyd Palun was sent off on 56 minutes.
The resulting penalty saw Maxime Gonalons equalise from the spot after the visitors had gone ahead when Carlos Eduardo converted a corner in acrobatic fashion on 23 minutes.
But a late penalty saw Nice reclaim the lead on 86 minutes with Valentin Eysseric stepping up to clinch three points and topple Lyon from the summit.
