Crédit Agricole PCA Aiglon of the Match for the win at Angers: Delort, of course!
Chosen by 81% of voters, Andy Delort is your Crédit Agricole PCA Aiglon of the Match for Nice's 2-1 victory at Angers on Sunday. The award is fully deserved after his pair of goals, which showcased both his talent and guts.
The forward was the star performer of the trip to the Stade Raymond-Kopa – and the key contributor to Nice's win. Trailing to Sofiane Boufal's penalty and struggling in the game, the visitors found themselves behind at the break and up against a solid defence. Like a battering ram, Delort changed everything and turned the match around. Having headed against a post in the first half, he levelled the scores just before the hour-mark with a shot deflected by Romain Thomas that sailed over Paul Bernardoni (1-1, 57'). His first-time volley in the 91st minute then left everyone stunned, the Angers goalkeeper included – everyone except Le Gym, who secured all three points thanks to Delort's moment of inspiration and climbed up to second spot in Ligue 1.
"Everyone knows that, on top of his talent, he has superb mental strength," said coach Christophe Galtier after the game. "Andy has victory running through his veins. He hates losing and he represents what I want to see in the best way possible." On Sunday, Delort scored his fourth and fifth goals for Nice in just eight games (to go with two assists). After registering twice with Montpellier at the start of the season, he is now on seven strikes in Ligue 1 this season. Only Jonathan David of Lille has plundered more goals since the start of the campaign (eight).
Behind Delort, you highlighted the performances of Jean-Clair Todibo (4% of votes) and Pablo Rosario (3%). The centre-back and midfielder were both valuable to the win thanks to their aggression and hard work.
