Le Havre AC v Nice
Le Havre upset title-chasing Nice in Ligue 1
Nice suffered a 3-1 away loss as the typically solid defensive side struggled to contain Le Havre in their Ligue 1 clash on Saturday.
Nice are in second place with 32 points, and leaders Paris Saint-Germain will have a chance to extend their four-point advantage when they visit Lille on Sunday. Le Havre are ninth on 19 points.
Emmanuel Sabbi broke the deadlock for Le Havre after five minutes by tapping in a rebound from Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bulka and then doubled his tally with a volley from an acute angle 10 minutes before the break.
The night only got worse for the visitors when Mohamed Bayo converted a penalty six minutes after the break, following Loic Nego being fouled by Melvin Bard.
In the final minutes of the match, a clash broke out that resulted in both Le Havre's Samuel Grandsir and Nice's Jean-Clair Todibo receiving red cards.
During stoppage time, Nice secured a consolation goal as Tom Louchet tapped in a cross from a short distance.
