Lyon stayed top of Ligue 1 but they remain just two points clear of Paris St. Germain after Zlatan Ibrahimovic's penalty rescued a 1-1 draw for the defending champions.
The winner at the Stade Municipal de Gerland on Sunday would have ended the night top of the standings, and Lyon drew first blood through Clinton Njie's 34th-minute strike.
That would have taken Les Gones four points clear, but Ibrahimovic pegged them back with his 69th-minute spot-kick to keep PSG third, level on points with Marseille, and still in touch with the league leaders.
Monaco spurned the chance to move up to fourth in Ligue 1 when they fell to a 1-0 defeat at 10-man Guingamp to see their 14-game unbeaten run come to an end.
Guingamp were reduced to 10 men midway through the first half when striker Moustapha Diallo was sent off for a dangerous tackle, but they earned all three points courtesy of Dorian Leveque's close-range finish early in the second half.
Monaco, stunned after conceding their first goal in nine league matches, could not make their numerical advantage count during the remainder of the second half as they fell to their first defeat since their 2-0 loss at Rennes at the end of November.
Victory for Jocelyn Gourvennec's Guingamp moved them up to 10th in the standings, while Leonardo Jardim's Monaco remain fifth, a point behind fourth-placed St Etienne.
Nice recorded their second goalless draw in a row as they claimed a point from their Ligue 1 clash against Nantes at the Allianz Riviera.
Claude Puel's men extended their unbeaten streak to five games but they failed to make a mark on the table as they remain eighth, level on 33 points with their ninth-placed opponents and seven behind the top four.
