Nice coach Lucien Favre was delighted with Kasper Schmeichel's performance in their victory over Lorient on Sunday.

The former Leicester captain has been under pressure amid claims of internal criticism over his approach and professionalism.

Favre said, "We defended as a team, which is really important. We were also good at creating chances and it was beautiful.

"We had our opportunities, but in the break we were open about what didn't work.

"Kasper Schmeichel also played a really good match..."
