Victor Osimhen fires blank as Lille hold Youcef Atal’s Nice

Victor Osimhen was silenced as Lille forced Nice to a 1-1 draw in Saturday’s Ligue 1 encounter.

Having scored a goal in his last league outing against Strasbourg, the Nigeria international was handed a place in the starting XI by manager Christophe Galtier.

However, he met a strong resistance from Patrick Vieira’s men as he failed to find the net despite boasting of four shots at the Jean-Pierre Rivere.

Kasper Dolberg put Nice in front after 13 minutes thanks to Arnaud Lusamba’s assist, but Luiz Araujo levelled matters 11 minutes later.
