Aleksandar Pesic scored the only goal of the game as Toulouse pulled further clear of the Ligue 1 relegation zone with a 1-0 victory over Reims.
Toulouse should have broken the deadlock inside five minutes, but Martin Braithwaite somehow managed to fire his effort into the side-netting after meeting a cross at the back post.
The host dominated for long spells of the first half and they threatened again when Wissam Ben Yedder tested Johny Placide with a powerful strike from a tight angle.
Pesic made the breakthrough just two minutes before the interval by finding the space in the box to head home from Marcel Tisserand's cross.

Reims finally came into the match early in the second half, but chances were difficult to come by as the visiting midfield were kept on the back foot.
Pesic should have wrapped up the win for Toulouse late on, but he could only head over from Adrien Regattin's corner.
Toulouse almost paid the price for failing to turn their pressure into more goals, but Reims midfielder Theoson Siebatcheu headed a golden chance over from six yards out with just two minutes remaining.
