Watch: Belhanda's curling strike helps Nice preserve unbeaten record

Nice faced the prospect of losing its first match of the season until Younes Belhanda thumped in an equaliser with just minutes remaining in Sunday's match against Montpellier.

Belhanda, who is on season-long loan from Dynamo Kyiv, brought the visitors level at 1-1 when his curling strike found the top corner against a dejected Marseille side.

The victory vaulted Nice into second place - just two points back of France's other unbeaten team, AS Monaco.

Meanwhile, an inability to retain a lead leaves Montpellier in 12th place with just six points in five matches.
