Ben Arfa stars in Nice win
Nice got their season up and running with their first three point haul thanks to a 2-1 win against Caen.With the score level at the interval it was Nice who took control on 65 minutes when Hatem Ben Arfa superbly danced past three defenders before smashing an unstoppable shot under the bar.Caen responded immediately, though, and Andy Delort beat the the Nice offside before netting from close range, beyond Moez Hassan.Then, with less than quarter of an hour to play, Alassane Plea neatly plucked a long ball out of the air before sending Remy Vercoutre the wrong way to claim all three points for Nice.
