Machado’s late header gives Lens 2-1 win at Le Havre as French league leader PSG faces Saint-Etienne

PARIS (AP) — Deiver Machado scores late as seventh-place Lens wins 2-1 at struggling Le Havre in the French league to move one point behind Lyon in sixth. The Colombia defender headed powerfully home from Poland winger Przemyslaw Frankowski’s cross in the 77th minute. Andre Ayew put Le Havre ahead and Goduine Koyalipou equalized. Elsewhere, improving Strasbourg climbed into ninth place with a 2-1 win at Toulouse with video reviews affecting both sides. Rock-bottom Montpellier had two players sent off late in a 3-1 home loss to Angers, which moved into 13th spot. Unbeaten leader Paris Saint-Germain hosted Saint-Etienne later Sunday.
