Monaco missed the chance to return to the top of the Ligue 1 table after surrendering a two-goal lead at struggling Sochaux.

Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco opened the scoring from close range, then punished a weak back pass from Sochaux's Carlao.

Sochaux - in head coach Herve Renard's first game in charge - rallied after the break and gave themselves hope when Cedric Bakambu headed in a corner.

The equaliser came when Joseph Lopy nodded in a poor Monaco clearance.

The result keeps Paris St-Germain in top spot, following their 4-0 thrashing of Bastia on Saturday which featured doubles for strikers Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani.

Sochaux climb off the foot of the table, a point ahead of Valenciennes.
