Paris St-Germain missed out on the chance to wrap up Ligue 1 for the second weekend in a row as they were thrashed by second-placed Lille.
Thomas Meunier's own goal put Lille ahead but Juan Bernat levelled - before being sent off for a professional foul on Nicolas Pepe after 36 minutes.
Pepe finished off a one-on-one and Jonathan Bamba smashed in at the near post to put Lille in control.
Headers from defenders Gabriel and Jose Fonte turned it into a rout.
This was the first time PSG had conceded five in a league game since 2 December 2000, when they lost 5-1 at Sedan in what was then called Division 1.
