Montpellier HSC left it late to secure victory over a resurgent Bordeaux side.
John Utaka netted his fourth goal of the season in the 80th minute to ensure that all three points stayed at the Stade de la Mosson.
The win means Montpellier go top of Ligue 1 before Paris Saint-Germain take on Lyon at the Stade de Gerland in the day's late kick-off.
Rene Girard's charges take on Dijon FCO at Stade Gaston Gerard next week.
Bordeaux, who remain in ninth, will hope to get back on track against Nice at home.
