NICE V PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN LIVE UPDATES - LATEST LIGUE 1 SCORE AS POCHETTINO LOOKS TO EXTEND LEAD AT THE TOP

Dolberg shoves Wijnaldum and gives away the free kick on halfway. Meanwhile, the referee gives Christophe Galtier a talking to.

Lemina is booked after a classy nutmeg and turn from Messi beats the midfielder.

Gouiri's inswinging cross is awkwardly cleared by Marquinhos, but the second wave comes again from the hosts through Rosario and now Kluivert, and Rosario... and his cross is spectacularly punched away by Navas.

Nice build again through the gears as Kluivert advances down the right, looking to curl a cross in that ends up behind Dolberg, and Paris can rebuild through Verratti.

The referee has a word with Danilo after his follow-through catches Lemina in a midfield challenge.

It's been all about the hosts so far. They've controlled things, created the better chances, but it could be their profligacy in front of goal that costs them. They deserve to be leading here.

A better ball this time from Bard down the left, and Rosario arrives late, but steers the header high and wide!

Marquinhos chops down Dolberg from behind as Nice rebuild from the back after the free kick.

The home fans don't like it as Rosario wins the ball cleanly off Diallo, but the referee whistles for the free kick. Paris getting the decisions? Surely not.

Rosario of all people finds himself the most advanced under the high ball, but he fouls Diallo as he tussles for it in the Paris penalty area.

Messi floors Dante with a neat turn with the outside of his boot, but it demonstrates the hosts willingness to tightly mark the Paris dangermen when they get into dangerous areas.

... from the little genius, as we see Messi on the ball for the first real time.

di Maria's inventine cross is straight into the gloves of Benitez.

Bard on the slide can't keep the cross accurate as it trickles into the side netting.

... from Nice as they work it out towards Bard through Thuram, but the cross is poor and goes all the way through to Kluivert on the right.

... and here's the break, with di Maria! He bears down on goal, and Benitez with a fingertip diverts the chipped finish behind. The resulting corner is cleared and Paris rebuild.

Kluivert keeps possession well and switches, and Bard, with the help of Gouiri, wins the corner for the hosts with a deflected cross.

Gouiri again is set up by Thuram and Dolberg neatly, and opening his body up, he looks to bend it into the far corner, but it's just wide with Navas scrambling!

Paris' very high engagement line forces Dante's clearance to cannon off Neymar and pin the hosts in their own half with a throw.

It is 4-4-2 that transitions into a 4-3-3 for the hosts: Thuram is on the left but is tucked inside, and Gouiri is ahead of him drifting wide left to maintain the width. Kluivert is down the right ahead of Daniliuc.

Excellent start from the hosts as it's worked for Gouiri, whose shot forces Navas into a save at his near post!
