Girondins de Bordeaux moved to the summit of Ligue 1 courtesy of a 3-0 victory over Le Mans, which pleased head coach Laurent Blanc.
An unfortunate own goal from visiting goalkeeper Didier Ovono had the home side ahead after just a few minutes but Bordeaux could not add to their tally prior to half-time. After the interval they looked somewhat brighter in front of goal, with Marouane Chamakh and David Bellion scoring to put the game beyond doubt.
“The boys should be happy with their performance,” Blanc said, according to Ligue 1’s official website. “We took things seriously. We didn't concede a goal, and there was reason for satisfaction at both ends of the pitch. We scored goals and created chances, and we scored from open play, which we hadn't done in a while.
“As I often to say, it’s the result matters,” he continued to his club’s official website. “Tonight it was just fun, enhanced by the result of other teams going in our favour.
A kind set of results benefited les Girondins at the weekend, with both Olympique Lyonnais and Montpellier defeated, allowing the Aquitaine outfit to move to the summit of the table once again. They lead Monaco by a solitary point.
