Nice 1-1 Marseille

Marseille continue to struggle in Ligue 1 after they were held to a 1-1 draw against relegation-threatened Nice.

Didier Deschamps's men went down to ten men just before half time when substitute Charles Kabore saw red for a reckless challenge on Luciano Monzon.

Kabore had not been on long after replacing the injured Souleymane Diawara.

Steve Mandanda produced a world-class save to deny Kafoumba Coulibaly breaking the deadlock just after the break.

Marseille then took the advantage on 56 minutes when Andre Ayew capped a lightning-quick counter when he latched onto a pass from Cesar Azpilicueta.

However, Monzon rescued a point for Nice after Esmael Goncalves earned a spot kick 15 minutes from time.

Rod Fanni was the guilty party, hacking down the Portuguese midfielder inside the penalty area.

Monzon confidently swept home from 12 yards to pick up a valuable point in their bid to beat the drop.
