A brace from Bakaye Traore has helped Nancy to a 2-0 win over Dijon.
The midfielder notched his first after five minutes when his fine right-footed effort rocketed into the top corner.
Dijon rarely troubled the Nancy goal, but Guy N'Dy sprung into action to deny Eric Bautheac down low to his left in the 58th minute.
Traore bagged his second goal after 84 minutes with another shot from outside the box, this time finding the bottom right corner of the net.
Victory means Nancy stay above Valenciennes in the Ligue 1 table.
