Mario Balotelli scored the winner and was later sent off as Nice beat Dijon 1-0 in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

The Italian striker converted a penalty in the 40th minute after a foul on Alassane Plea in the area, for his sixth league goal of the campaign.

He was then dismissed for the third time in Ligue 1 since moving to Nice at the start of last season, receiving a straight red card for chopping down Dijon defender Cedric Yambere from behind with a minute left.

Balotelli remonstrated with the fourth official as he went off but Nice held on to end a run of four successive league defeats and six consecutive losses in all competitions.
