Ten-man Nice beaten at home by Toulouse

By Matt Domm, Reporter | 01 March 2014

Nice have Lloyd Palun sent off as they lose 2-0 at home to Toulouse in Ligue 1.

Toulouse have come away from their trip to Nice with a 2-0 victory that has seen them move up to 10th in the Ligue 1 table.

After an edgy opening five minutes, the first chance of the game fell to Nice when Mathieu Bodmer headed towards goal from Eric Bautheac's cross, but it was stopped by Zacharie Boucher.

Wissam Ben Yedder really started to come into the game and twice came close inside the opening 20 minutes. First he shot just over the bar from distance, before his next effort worked Mouez Hassan down low.

Toulouse finished the half strongly as Oscar Trejo had a shot saved before Jonathan Zebina fired not too far wide from a long way out.

Ten minutes after the restart Lloyd Palun was shown a straight red card for a foul on Issiaga Sylla, and from that moment Toulouse began to up the tempo.

It took them 10 minutes after the dismissal to take the lead as Trejo crossed for Eden Ben Basat to finish from close range, with the visitors able to hold the advantage and bag the three points.
