(Reuters) - Ligue 1 leaders Monaco won 2-1 at Montpellier on Tuesday while second-placed Paris St Germain snatched a last-gasp winner to edge Lille by the same scoreline after goalkeeper Alphonse Areola's error looked to have cost them victory.

Monaco raced into a two-goal lead after 20 minutes with Kamil Glik's header, after Geoffrey Jourdren's mistake, and a strike by teenage forward Kylian Mbappe before the hosts got one back soon after halftime through 39-year-old Hilton's header.
