Nice and Bastia played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with each other in their Ligue 1 encounter on Saturday.

The hosts were the first to get off the mark, taking the lead in the 32nd minute through a Dario Cvitanich shot from outside the box.

However, 10 minutes later Bastia restored parity when Jerome Rothen scored from a free kick.

Nice regained their lead in the 58th minute when Renato Civelli headed home Valentin Eysseric's delivery from close range.

That was not the end of the goals, though, as on 71 minutes Bastia made it 2-2, thanks to Anthony Modeste's header from the centre of the Nice penalty box.
