The defeat was another setback for the Parisians and may seal the fate of coach Laurent Fournier, who is at odds with club chairman Pierre Blayau.

Blayau has criticised Fournier for poor results with the ambitious club standing sixth in Ligue 1, 13 points adrift of runaway leaders Olympique Lyon.

Toulouse, battling to avoid relegation from the top flight, join Nice, Girondins Bordeaux and second division En Avant Guingamp in the last eight after they all won on Tuesday.
