Rennes are up to fourth in Ligue 1 after continuing their fine home form with a 1-0 win against Toulouse.

Yoann Gourcuff's first-minute strike made it six wins and two draws from Rennes' eight league games at Roazhon Park this season.

Gourcuff was played in down the left by Paul-Georges Ntep inside the opening minute and used the outside of his right foot to drill the ball through goalkeeper Alban Lafont's legs at his near post.

Rennes pushed for a second, with Ntep hitting a post before half-time and Joris Gnagnon heading against the crossbar after the interval.

Home goalkeeper Benoit Costil denied Martin Braithwaite at the other end before Toulouse's Christopher Jullien was sent off in stoppage time.
