Nice have come back from an early goal down against Evian TG to win 3-1 at Allianz Riviera in Ligue 1.

The visitors took the lead against the run of play in the 17th minute, although it was from the penalty spot after Mathieu Bodmer was adjudged to have brought down Eric Tie Bi.

Cedric Mongongu took it and dispatched into the top right corner.

The home side threw everything at Evian and finally got their reward on the hour mark, when Christian Bruls set up Eric Bautheac to fire left-footed past Bertrand Laquait.

Bautheac finished from close range after Jeremy Pied put the ball into the box in the 69th minute, before Alexy Bosetti added extra gloss to the scoreline two minutes from the end.

It is Les Aiglons' second win in a row after losing six on the spin from the end of October.
