Substitute Goncalo Ramos scored with a powerful header in the 94th minute to give European champions Paris Saint-Germain a late 1-0 win over Nice in Ligue 1 on Saturday.

PSG have a two-point lead at the top of Ligue 1 after Marseille won 1-0 at Auxerre to move into second.

The introduction of Ramos in the 72nd minute in place of Senny Mayulu supplied the injection of attacking thrust the Parisians needed.

The Portuguese international, making his 100th appearance for PSG, forced a fine save from Nice goalkeeper Yehvann Diouf shortly before his decisive goal.

As the seconds ticked down, Ramos connected from close range with a corner from Lee Kang-in that was glanced on by the head of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Ramos gave the corner flag a karate kick in celebration as the home fans roared their approval.

PSG coach Luis Enrique said: "We were too quiet in the first half hour but then we got better, we put the work in and we definitely deserved the win."

Marseille failed to shine but England midfielder Angel Gomes' goal after half an hour was enough to earn a victory at Auxerre and they moved into second place.
