Mario Balotelli's enjoying away days again.
The revolutionised OGC Nice striker made perfect contact with a long ball Friday to volley his first away goal in league play this season - and his first since September 2015. It quickly erased Lille's opener in the first half of the Ligue 1 contest.
The 26-year-old then tapped in a rebound off goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama to ensure a 2-1 comeback win, which put Nice a single point behind Ligue 1 table-topper Monaco with two more matches played.
Balotelli has now scored 13 goals in the French top flight - his highest domestic total in four seasons.
