Valere Germain and Hatem Ben Arfa were on target as Nice beat Reims 2-0 to go third in Ligue 1.

Nice put pressure on Lyon in the race for Champions League football, going third in Ligue 1 with a 2-0 victory over struggling Reims on Friday.

The result, which came thanks to goals from Valere Germain and Hatem Ben Arfa, moves Nice third and a point clear of Lyon, which visits Toulouse on Saturday.

Claude Puel's men are a point behind Monaco in second ahead of the principality club's visit to Rennes.
