The goalkeeper ensured his side the three points as he gave in a resolute performance to keep a clean sheet. The victory earned Christian Gourcuff’s men 4th spot on the Ligue 1 table.

The young Frenchman was impressive throughout the game against Stade Brestois 29. The full-back exhibited real energy in his game play. However, he was unlucky as his side conceded an early goal that led to the share of spoils.
Digne is currently chased by several European clubs including Manchester United who have been reportedly interested in the player. The 19-year-old is considered to be one of the best left-back in the Ligue 1, one who can defend as well as attack down on
the flank. With a potential such as his, expect more from Digne in the future.

Les Parisiens skipper has definitely justified his hefty price tag, as he has turned out to be one of the best centre-backs in French Ligue 1. The former AC Milan player is a real leader, as the team seems to perform better under his captaincy.
The Brazilian international played a considerable role in the lone-goal scored against Lyon. Silva was instrumental in the game, as helped his side maintaining another clean sheet.
Ludovic Sane (FC Girondins de Bordeaux)
Despite being lessened to 10-men, Les Girondins not only managed to score another goal, but also maintained their resolute defence. And much of the credited goes to the 25-year-old, Ludovic Sane, who has been instrumental for the Bordeaux-based club.
The former Ligue 1 champions have a streak of 5 games and without a win, however, that doesn’t dwindle the spirits of the Senegalese international who seems determined to help his side back to winning ways in the games to come.
Marco Estarada (Montpellier Herault SC)
The Chilean international scored a wonder goal for La Paillade as he opened the scoring for his side, with his goal exhibiting an exquisite technique. The goal is seriously considered as a nominee for the goal of the season.
The defensive midfielder performed impressively, as he had a good game against Evian TG. Although, Estrada has only scored two goals this season, yet the midfielder is a consistent performer for the defending Ligue 1 champions.
