Nice are still very much in the running to win Ligue 1 after beating Dijon, and though the Italian did not score, he did a lot of work
After a couple of difficult weeks, it was back to business for Mario Balotelli. The striker made his return from suspension as Nice went to Dijon on Saturday, and while he was not able to break his away-day duck in Ligue 1, he did help his side to victory.
Life was made difficult for the title hopefuls at Stade Gaston Gerrard, with a packed defence foiling the efforts of Balotelli and his team-mates for over an hour.
