PARIS, April 14 (Xinhua) -- Paris Saint-Germain blew away another chance of securing their Ligue 1 title following a 5-1 loss to second-placed Lille in the 32nd round on Sunday.

After failing to beat Strasbourg at home last weekend, Thomas Tuchel's side traveled to the northern French city knowing that a draw was sufficient for their sixth league title in seven seasons.

Juan Bernat helped PSG cancel out Thomas Meunier's own goal early in the first half. However, playing with one man down for 54 minutes, the runaway leaders collapsed after the restart, as goals from Nicolas Pepe, Jonathan Bamba, Gabriel and Jose Fonte inflicted a match to forget for them.

Kylian Mbappe put the ball in the net as early as two minutes, but the linesman waved the flag for offside.

Meunier, just coming back from injury, unfortunately diverted Jonathan Ikone into his own net in the seventh minute.

But Bernat arrived timely to poke home a right-flank cross from Mbappe four minutes later. Mbappe saw his another goal ruled offside in the 13th minute.

The visitors lost captain Thiago Silva and Meunier to injury after less than half an hour. Things got worse for them when Bernat was given a marching order for pulling speedy Pepe from behind in the 36th minute.

Thilo Kehrer, who came off the bench for Silva, sent a header wide shortly after the break.

Then Lille started to display their firepower. Pepe had a cool finish in a 51st-minute counterattack for his 19th goal of the campaign. Ikone released Bamba to fire home in the 65th minute.

Unlucky PSG goalkeeper Alphonse Areola was beaten again by Gabriel's header on a Pepe free-kick six minutes later. Fonte completed the rout with another header on Pepe's corner with six minutes from time.

It was the first time that PSG have conceded five goals in a league game in 19 years. The worst loss in all competitions this season cut their advantage over Lille to 17 points. They have got a new chance of title celebration when visiting Nantes in a rearranged match on Wednesday.

Lille, on the other hand, made the most of third-ranked Lyon's defeat to extend the gap to eight points in their contention for automatic qualification to next season's Champions League.

After Wahbi Khazri's opener from the spot, Mathieu Debuchy scored a brace to earn Saint-Etienne a 3-0 home win over Bordeaux.

Saint-Etienne regain the fourth place from Marseille and sit three points behind Lyon.

Also on Sunday, Montpellier got past Toulouse 2-1 to climb to sixth. Rennes and Nice finished a goalless draw.
