Aiglon of the Match: Laborde rewarded

He is the leader of a Gym front line that is on fire right now. After overcoming an early season foot injury, Gaëtan’s experience and quality shone through, earning a penalty before the break and giving Le Gym the lead with a confidence-filled panenka (2-1, 44’).

His movement on and off the ball caused untold problems, and he also managed to head clear a Reims corner, race upfield, and then provide an assist for Sofiane Diop in the opposite penalty area. He then managed to lift the ball over Yehvann Diouf to make it 3-1 (64’) and seal the win. It was his 28th goal for Nice in 98 appearances, and his 83rd career Ligue 1 goal.
