Nice 2-1 Montpellier
- Published
Mickael le Bihan was making his fourth appearance in Ligue 1, having spent most of his career in the second tier
Nice striker Mickael le Bihan scored twice on his return after 17 months out with a broken leg as the Ligue 1 title contenders beat Montpellier.
Montpellier led when Steve Mounie took advantage of a defensive ricochet to fire home.
Le Bihan, whose last appearance was in September 2015, came off the bench after an hour and levelled with a 20-yard effort.
And he converted Arnaud Souquet's through ball for a late winner.
It was only the 26-year-old's fourth game for Nice, having suffered his injury weeks after a move from Le Havre.
Montpellier almost levelled in injury time when Ryad Boudebouz's free-kick struck the post.
Nice are behind leaders Monaco on goal difference, though their local rivals can go three points ahead again when they visit Guingamp on Saturday (16:00 GMT).
