Lautaro Martinez made sure of the win in the 90th minute.

There was another ex-Manchester United player on the scoresheet as Henrikh Mkhitaryan bagged a brace in Roma's 3-0 win over Parma.

Borja Mayoral opened the scoring in the 28th minute before Mkhitaryan took over, with the win moving Roma up to third.

Riccardo Orsolini scored the winner as Bologna came from behind to win 2-1 at Sampdoria, while Riccardo Improta's goal gave Benevento a 1-0 win at Fiorentina.

Valencia came from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw away to Alaves.

The hosts got off to a superb start as Ximo Navarro had them in front just two minutes in and Lucas Perez doubled the lead from the penalty spot with a little over quarter of an hour gone.

But Manuel Vallejo pulled one back in the 72nd minute and Hugo Guillamon levelled the scores five minutes later.

Mid-table duo Eibar and Getafe shared the spoils from a goalless draw.

Following PSG's defeat to Monaco, Lille took full advantage as Yusuf Yazici scored in either half before goals from Luiz Araujo and Jonathan David completed the scoring.

And Montpellier are also on 20 points after Gaetan Laborde's 68th-minute strike sealed a 4-3 win over Strasbourg.

The visitors levelled three times in an entertaining first half, scoring twice from the penalty spot, but had no answer after the break.
