Balotelli puts Nice seven points clear of PSG, Monaco lose

By Julien Pretot PARIS (Reuters) - Nice striker Mario Balotelli struck twice as the Ligue 1 leaders won 2-1 at home to Dijon on Sunday to widen the gap over third-placed champions Paris St Germain. The Italian, who now has eight goals from as many league appearances, scored in each half either side of Julio Tavares's equaliser for the visitors. Dijon finished with 10 men after captain Cedric Varrault got two yellow cards in quick succession two minutes from time.
