Moise Kean

Moise Kean’s goal gave Paris Saint-Germain a 2-1 win over Nice on Saturday as they shrugged off the absence of Neymar to provisionally go back to the top of Ligue 1, while title rivals Lyon were beaten at home by Montpellier.


Kean struck in the 76th minute for his 10th Ligue 1 goal since joining PSG on loan from Everton, handing Mauricio Pochettino’s side the points after Julian Draxler’s opener had been cancelled out by Rony Lopes at a freezing Parc des Princes. 


It was a morale-boosting result for PSG, three days before they face Barcelona in the first leg of their Champions League Last 16 tie. PSG also benefited from a slip-up by Lyon, who are two points off the pace in third after a shock 2-1 home defeat at the hands of a mid-table Montpellier side.
