(Reuters) - OGC Nice guaranteed a top-three finish in Ligue 1 and remained firmly in the hunt for a first French title since 1959 when two second-half goals from the outstanding Jean Seri inspired them to come from behind to beat Nancy 3-1 at home on Saturday.
Seri converted a penalty after the break and then scored late on as Lucien Favre's side up moved to 73 points in third place, ensuring they will play in the Champions League next season.
