Super Eagles forward Terem Moffi was included in the Ligue 1 team of the week after his amazing performance on matchday 5 for OGC Nice.
The 24-year-old bagged a brace and an assist as Nice defeated defending champions Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 at the Parc des Princes to go fourth in the league standings.
Moffi scored Les Aiglons first and third goals of the match and provided the assist for their second to help his side seal a famous victory at the weekend.

The Nigerian now has three goals and two assists in five games this campaign, resulting in him being named in the team of the week for the first time this season.
Moffi, however, was not the only African on the list, as Guinea-Bissau international defender Fali Cande and Algerian goalkeeper Alexandre Oukidja were also included in the list.
The pair helped FC Metz to a 1-0 win away at last season’s runners-up, RC Lens, keeping a clean sheet with Oukidja making ten saves.
