Nice fight back to draw at Rennes but title ambitions fade

Valentin Eysseric scored a late equaliser for OGC Nice as they battled back from two down to salvage a 2-2 draw at Rennes on Sunday but it was not enough to prevent the title hopefuls losing ground on Ligue 1 leaders Monaco. Eysseric broke past the home side’s defence in the 81st minute and sped away before finishing calmly past Benoit Costil to rescue a point.
