Ligue 2 Week 8: Top two win again

Créteil and Bastia both secured valuable home victories in Week 8 to stretch clear at the top of the Ligue 2 standings.

Paris-based side Créteil are top with 18 points after they edged past Guingamp. Boulebda opened the scoring for the home side on 33 minutes, but Guingamp looked as though they had claimed a point when Watier levelled matters 10 minutes from time.

Créteil kept fighting until the end, however, and eventually sealed the points in stoppage time when Boulebda scored his second of the night and sixth of the season.

Bastia are only a point back and seem to be the form team at the moment. André scored twice for the Corsican side as they ran out 4-0 winners over Clermont.

Meanwhile, third-placed Lorient could only draw 0-0 at Dijon, and Sedan, who are fourth, drew 1-1 at Caen.

The most exciting game of the week came at Gueugnon, where the home side shared six goals with Sète. The visitors were leading 3-1 with time running out, but late strikes from Marty and Correira sealed a point for Gueugnon who are ninth.
