Danish-Ghanaian forward Noah Nartey delivered a standout display as Lyon eased past Nice 2-0 at Groupama Stadium, keeping their title push firmly on track.
Leading the line in Paulo Fonseca’s 3-4-2-1, Nartey constantly stretched the visitors before capping his night with a coolly taken second goal on 64 minutes to kill the contest.
Lyon had already gone ahead in first-half stoppage time when Corentin Tolisso arrived late in the box to finish smartly from Pavel Sulc’s cutback, rewarding the hosts’ growing pressure. After the break, Lyon’s control only increased, and Nartey seized his moment, drifting into space before firing home the 2-0 that sent the home crowd into full voice.
The 99‑shirt’s performance underlined his growing importance in Ligue 1 this season, where he has now made 21 league appearances, scoring 8 goals and providing 4 assists in 2025/26.
Lyon’s 13th straight victory keeps them right on the heels of the leaders and extends their formidable home scoring streak under Fonseca.
Next up, they travel to face Strasbourg in Ligue 1 on Sunday, February 22, aiming to keep their momentum rolling.
