Reims, France: Paris Saint-Germain moved to within touching distance of an 11th French title in 13 seasons as they came from behind to thrash Saint Etienne 6-1 on Saturday.
After second-placed Marseille crashed 3-1 to Reims earlier, PSG will win the league with seven games still to go if Nice draw at third-placed Monaco in the day's final match.
The visiting Parisians were stung after nine minutes when Lucas Stassin headed in Zuriko Davitashvili's cross to put Saint Etienne ahead.
Goncalo Ramos brought the reigning champions level from the penalty spot just before half-time, slotting home after he had been tripped in area by Florian Tardieu.
PSG took control early in the second half when Khvicha Kvaratskhelia intercepted a misplaced back pass on the halfway line and tore towards the Saint Etienne goal before shifting the ball to his left foot to score.
As Saint Etienne's effort level dropped, Desire Doue notched a double for PSG, either side of a goal from Joao Neves.
Substitute Ibrahim Mbaye completed the job with PSG's sixth goal, side-footing home from Bradley Barcola's cross.
