BREST, France (AP) — Montpellier has brutally ended Brest’s six-match winning run in the French league after a 4-0 win at the Brittany club on Saturday. Montpellier’s third straight win extends its unbeaten record in the top flight against Brest and lifts Olivier Dall’Óglio’s players to fourth in the standings. Last-placed Saint-Etienne later lost 2-0 at Reims. The 10-time champions were reduced to 10 men just before the interval when Denis Bouanga was shown a red card.
