Five derby firsts

There were a number of firsts in Sunday's 3-0 derby win at Monaco.

A FIRST 3-GOAL WIN IN 57 YEARS

OGC Nice won by a three-goal margin at Monaco in Ligue 1 for the first time since 30 January 1966 (0-3).

TEREM MOFFI, OFF THE MARK WITH LE GYM

The late January arrival netted 12 times for Loirent before making the move, and found the net for the first time with his new club at the Stade Louis II. He finished past Nübel superbly after passes from Dante and Khephren Thuram to get off the mark. What better time to do it?

FIRST WIN IN MONACO IN MORE THAN 8 YEARS

On 27 September 2014, Didier Digard was on the pitch for the Gym's 1-0 win in the principality, which came courtesy of Carlos Eduardo's goal. This time, he directed the win from the dug-out.

It's the club's sixth away derby success since returning to the top flight - the others came in 2008 (1-2 in Ligue 1), 2006 (0-1 in the Coupe de la Ligue), 2004 (3-4, in Ligue 1) and 2003 (0-1 in Ligue 1).

BEATING MARSEILLE & MONACO AWAY

It's the first time in OGC Nice's history they have won at both the Vélodrome and the Louis II in the same season.

In 2014, the Aiglons won three of their derbies away from home, but across two seasons: 4-5 (21 January, Coupe de France) & 0-1 (7 March, Ligue 1) in Marseille in 2013/14, then 0-1 (27 September, Ligue 1) at the Louis-II in 2014/15.

AYOUB AMRAOUI'S SUCCESSFUL DEBUT

In the first-team squad for the first time this season, Ayoub Amraoui made his senior debut. On the left side of a five-man backline, the 18-year-old played a full and impressive 90 minutes. He made a joint-match-high three interceptions (with Hicham Boudaoui). The U20 Morocco international ran 12.27km (7.62 miles), 800m (0.5 miles) more than any other player.
