With their 3-0 win at Saint-Etienne, Les Aiglons are now within touching distance of the Ligue 1 podium.

Having played a game less (and with a point deducted), Le Gym have 13 points, which leaves Christophe Galtier's men two points behind second-placed Lens following their win over previously undefeated Marseille.

Nice's next opponents, Stade Brestois, were beaten 2-1 at home to FC Metz — 'The Pirates' are the visitors to the Allianz Riviera next Saturday (kick-off 9pm CEST).
