Bordeaux rumbled to their biggest win of the season on Sunday as they crushed relegation threatened Ajaccio 4-0 to take temporary possession of eighth spot in Ligue 1.

Leaders Paris Saint-Germain host Lyon later on Sunday while goalkeeper Michael Landreau is set to equal Jean-Luc Ettori's record of 602 top flight matches when he turns out for Bastia against Evian in Corsica.

At the Chaban-Delmas stadium, Brazilian Jussie was the catalyst for Bordeaux with the opening and closing goals while Gregory Sertic and Nicolas Maurice-Belay were also on target.

"It's very pleasing to score a double, as much as the victory," said the 30-year-old Jussie, who joined Bordeaux in 2007 from Lens after beginning his career at Brazilian club Cruzeiro.

"We've been in a bit of a black period, even if we weren't losing much, but this relieves the pressure a bit," added the striker, who took on French nationality in 2011 and was part of the championship winning team under current PSG coach Laurent Blanc in 2009.

"When everyone does their bit, it's a lot easier and the team worked hard in the second half. We had a great desire to win and even if we wobbled a bit, we stayed calm and continued to get forward, and scored goals."

In a feisty encounter that included six yellow cards, four or them against the Corsicans, the Girodins bounced back from their Europa League elimination in midweek with a sparkling display in front of their home fans.

Ajaccio meanwhile remain joint bottom of the table with Sochaux after just eight points from 15 matches has left them seven from safety.
