RC Lens denied Paris Saint-Germain FC the chance to move up to third in the Ligue 1 table after claiming victory over Luiz Fernandez's side in a five-goal thriller on Sunday.
Utaka on target
John Utaka scored the winner in a see-saw match that moved Lens from ninth to fifth spot - level on points with the Paris side. The hosts had taken the lead through Antoine Sibierski, but the Parisians levelled through Gabriel Heinze just before the break.
Luiz hope
André Luiz struck just after half-time to put PSG ahead for the first time, only for Daniel Moreira to level matters on the hour before Utaka sealed victory eight minutes later.
