Nice 1 - 0 Toulouse: Hatem Ben Arfa goal lifts Nice and means Toulouse remain in trouble
Posted Thursday, February 04, 2016 by PA
Hatem Ben Arfa scored late on as Nice secured a 1-0 win against to Toulouse to move up to third in Ligue 1.
The visitors had an early chance when Alexis Blin rose highest from Oscar Trejo's corner but his header shaved the top of Yoan Cardinale's crossbar.
In what was proving to be an uneventful affair, Ben Arfa sould have opened Nice's account after rounding Alban Lafont just after the restart but the former Newcastle man failed to finish off his good work with the goal gaping.
However, Ben Arfa made up for his mistake with eight minutes left to play in somewhat fortuitous circumstances when his initial shot was saved by Lafont before rebounding off the Nice number nine's knee and into the empty net.
