Paris Saint-Germain will finish 2015 with a 19-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 after Angers lost 1-0 at Saint-Etienne on Sunday.

Benjamin Corgnet scored the only goal of the game on 62 minutes, denying Angers the chance of going back above Monaco into second place.

PSG won 3-0 at fourth-placed Caen on Saturday to set a new record of 51 points at the halfway stage of the season after an unbeaten first 19 matches during the current campaign.

PSG also set a club-record 28-match unbeaten league run after expensive stars Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Angel di Maria both hit the target in Caen.

Monaco are second after a 0-0 draw at winless and rock bottom Troyes on Saturday took them a point clear of Angers.

St Etienne moved up to sixth, just three points behind Monaco in the congested race for the European places.

Later on Sunday, 2009 champions Bordeaux host the team that succeeded them a year later, Marseille, in an era before Qatari money helped PSG sweep all before them.
