Youcef Atal: Chelsea transfer target steers Nice past Dijon

Youcef Atal scored his first goal of the season as Nice beat Dijon 2-1 at the Allianz Riviera in the French Ligue 1 on Saturday.

It was the bottom-placed team that took the lead via Julio Tavares in the 22nd minute, with Gabon midfielder, Didier Ndong providing the assist.

The hosts responded seven minutes later through Kasper Dolberg, with Atal’s Algerian teammate, Adam Ounas, giving the assist.

Atal then went on to score the winner two minutes after the restart, volleying home a fierce right-footed shot on the left side of the 18-yard area.
