Nantes 1-1 Nice

Nice are aiming to win their first Ligue 1 title since 1959

Nice lost ground on their Ligue 1 title rivals as they were held to a draw by mid-table Nantes.

The visitors, without injured trio Alassane Plea, Wylan Cyprien and captain Paul Baysse, went behind to Emiliano Sala's 22nd-minute opener.

Jean Michael Seri equalised six minutes later with a wonderful strike from the edge of the box.

Nice stay third on 64 points, one behind Paris St-Germain and four adrift of leaders Monaco.

PSG and Monaco, who now have a game in hand on Nice, play Lyon and Caen respectively on Sunday.
