Nice secured a 2-1 triumph over Lens in Sunday’s Ligue 1 encounter with debutant Amine Gouiri finding the net twice.
After three seasons with Lyon, Gouiri joined the Eagles on July 1, 2020 for a fee of seven million Euros and needed little time to show his new club what to expect in the 2020-21 campaign by helping Patrick Vieira’s side to a comeback victory at the Allianz Riviera.
With the game still gathering momentum, the visitors took an 11th-minute lead through DR Congo star Gael Kakuta who beat goalkeeper Walter Benitez from the penalty spot after Ignatius Ganago’s clearance had touched captain Dante on the arm.
