PARIS (AP) - Canada striker Jonathan David profited from a defensive error to settle a tight game as Lille won at Reims 1-0 to move up to fourth place in the French league on Saturday.

David intercepted a poor back pass from Yunis Abdelhamid in the 56th minute to grab his 12th league goal, moving him level with Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette on the scoring chart. Both are some way behind 21-goal top scorer Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain.

The win moved Lille one point above Nice, which can reclaim fourth spot if it wins at Toulouse on Sunday. Monaco was one ahead in third place.

In a late game, Marseille was at rock-bottom Clermont.

PSG drew 0-0 at Monaco on Friday with an ineffective Mbappe taken off at halftime. He has told the club he is leaving at the end of the season.
