Paris (AFP) – French Ligue 1 leaders Lille needed a spectacular late strike from Luis Araujo to rescue a 1-1 draw at home to Montpellier on Friday which allowed Paris Saint-Germain the chance to turn the screw in the title race.
Lille moved to 70 points but defending champions PSG can close the gap to just a point if they defeat Saint Etienne on Sunday.
Andy Delort headed Montpellier ahead in the 21st minute on Friday.
But Brazil’s Luis Araujo grabbed a deserved equaliser with five minutes left with a memorable half-volley.
