PARIS -- Monaco needed a late goal from substitute Lucas Ocampos to beat Saint-Etienne 2-1 and move three points clear atop the French league on Saturday. Ocampos met a low cross from James Rodriguez in the 87th minute to poke home the winner from a tight angle. Belgian winger Yannick Ferreira Carrasco opened the scoring for Monaco in the 15th before Saint-Etienne striker Romain Hamouma equalized in the 49th. "Were putting pressure on the other teams," Monaco defender Eric Abidal said. "We know the beginning of the season is important. Its up to us to keep riding the momentum. . Teams will fear us more. Its always important to be chased instead of having to give chase." Monaco is still undefeated after nine league matches. Also, it was: Lille 3, Ajaccio 0; Toulouse 1, Nice 0; Nantes 3, Evian 0; Guingamp 2, Rennes 0; and Valenciennes 1, Reims 1. On Sunday, Marseille hosts second-place Paris Saint-Germain, Bordeaux faces Sochaux and Lyon visits Montpellier. On Friday, Bastia routed Lorient 4-1. Monaco dominated the first half and Saint-Etienne was lucky to head back to the dressing room just a goal down. Joao Moutinho intercepted a backpass from Saint-Etienne midfielder Renaud Cohade to be clean through on goal after nine minutes, but goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier saved Moutinhos effort from 18 metres. Carrasco did not miss his chance six minutes later. The Belgian winger beat the offside trap to collect a through ball from Rodriguez and slip it past Ruffier. Rodriguez arguably produced his best performance in the French league this season. The Colombia midfielder cut inside in the 26th to fire a long-range strike that Ruffier turned around the post. Saint-Etiennes first chance came in the 30th when Tabanou chased a ball over the top from Cohade but missed the target from a tight angle. The visitors levelled four minutes after the break. Hamouma took a pass from Cohade to beat Monaco goalkeeper Danijel Subasic. Ruffier kept his team in the match by stopping a powerful drive from Rodriguez in the 59th and punching away a free kick from him in the 89th. Saint-Etienne could have taken the lead against the run of play in the 84th. Substitute Max-Alain Gradel capitalized on a counterattack to bear down on goal but was denied by Subasic. Lille earned its fourth straight clean sheet to go level on points with third-place Marseille. Pape Souare put the 2011 champion ahead with a powerful header in the 16th. Idrissa Gueye made it 2-0 from close range in the 58th before forward Salomon Kalou converted a rebound in the 71st. Striker Filip Djordjevic scored twice for Nantes, which stretched its winning streak to three games to climb to fifth place, a point behind Lille. Djordjevic converted a cross from Serge Gakpe after two minutes and notched his sixth league goal this season in the 34th. Papy Mison Djilobodji sealed the win for the promoted side in the 66th. Toulouse forward Wissam Ben Yedder scored the winner in the 34th to help his team move into the middle of the table. Eloge Enza Yamissi scored an equalizer in stoppage time to snap Valenciennes seven-match losing streak. Valenciennes still remained in last place despite that point. Prince Oniangue initially gave Reims the lead from a corner in the 30th. In the Brittany derby, Jeremy Sorbon in the 47th and Mustapha Yatabare in the 70th scored for Guingamp while Rennes striker Nelson Oliveira was sent off after picking up a second yellow card in the 63rd.

All three of their victories this season have come away from home.Its always great to win, but when you dont win that much, its even better, Carter-Williams said. Im not sure what it is. When were struggling on the road, its a little easier for us to come back together because everyone is against us. All we have is each other.Philadelphia trailed by 11 in the third quarter, but led by as many as 14 points in the fourth.The Sixers also got a lift from their bench, which outscored the Magic reserves 37-20.Victor Oladipo had 23 points for the Magic. Nik Vucevic finished with 19 points and 17 rebounds, and Tobias Harris added 17 points.The Magic have lost four straight and six of their last seven.Orlando looked to be in control as it inched out to its double-digit lead. But the Sixers closed the third quarter on a 22-7 spurt, and took a four-point lead into the final period.Philadelphia kept that momentum going, scoring seven straight to open the fourth.Orlando tried to stage its own late rally, but was thwarted by late turnovers.Magic coach Jacque Vaughn tinkered with his starting lineup Sunday, inserting rookie Elfrid Payton at point guard and Kyle OQuinn at power forward.The move meant Oladipo shifted over to shooting guard, marking the first time he and Payton had started together in Orlandos backcourt this season. It also meant that off-season acquisitions Channing Frye and Evan Fournier — whho entered the night averaging 14 points per game — were sent to the bench to anchor the second unit.ddddddddddddResults were mixed, but there was briefly a tangible effect on the defensive end for Orlando.OQuinn was the most active early, blocking three shots in the first half and being generally disruptive to the Sixers in the halfcourt with a handful of deflections.Vucevic said its all a work in progress.I think defensively, its not really about a lineup, Vucevic said. Its about us talking, being vocal, and following the game plan we have.Philadelphia was held to just 5 of 19 from the field in second quarter and shot only 42 per cent for the night.It turned out to be enough, with all nine of the Sixers available players scoring at least five points.There was a brief verbal spat at one point during a timeout between Carter-Williams and Nerlens Noel, but coach Brett Brown said he liked how they were able to work it out among themselves.Its teammates talking to teammates. Its real, Brown said. It proved to be a real healthy conversation so I let it go ... Its not like they just met each other and have issues. Its healthy issues, its real, thats what families go through. It aint always pretty. They talked it through and off we go.___TIP-INSMagic: The starting lineup Sunday was Orlandos eighth different one of the season. ...
