Christopher Jullien played a key role as Montpellier picked up a huge three points against Rennes.
The former Celtic defender was picked out with a long free-kick into the box and he was up in the air highest as he headed across goal into the path of team-mate Stephy Mavididi to score the winning goal with just six minutes left on the clock. Teji Tedy Savanier had been sent off for the hosts less than ten minutes into the second half to give his side an uphill battle but the big win puts them eight points clear of the relegation places in the French top flight.
Next up for Jullien and Co are back to back difficult matches on paper away at Champions League chasing Monaco and a Lyon side who could still land European football for next season.
