Sanson finds a Nice way to move to third spot in France

Another goal from in-form striker Morgan Sanson has given Nice their third victory in a row and a 1-0 win over Reims in Ligue 1 in France.

A week after he scored twice in Nice’s shock 3-1 win at champions Paris Saint-Germain, Sanson was again on target on Friday (Saturday AEST).

With 15 minutes gone, a cross from the left was only partially cleared and fell perfectly for him to knock it into the empty net.

The former Aston Villa striker missed most of this season through injury, but has returned in fine form. His goal on Friday was his third in his past two games.

The win takes Nice above Lille and Monaco into third place, while Reims remain 13th.

Victory also puts Nice into contention for a place in next season’s Champions League.

Meanwhile, Paris will have two first-division clubs next season for the first time in 35 years after Paris FC earned promotion.

Paris FC’s 1-1 draw at Martigues, and a draw by third-placed Metz, sealed a top-two place in Ligue 2 and automatic promotion.

Paris FC were two points behind league leaders Lorient and could top the table when they play their last game of the season next Saturday against Ajaccio.
