Nice forwards Jeremie Boga and Terem Moffi punched, kicked & insulted following Lorient defeat | OneFootball

Nice players were physically assaulted by their own fans following the 3-1 defeat to Lorient on Sunday. 

The Eagles are in the midst of a crisis, having lost six straight matches to drop to 10th in Ligue 1. They are also bottom of the Europa League table. 

Things turned ugly after Nice lost 3-1 at Lorient on Sunday, as around 400 supporters gathered at the club’s training ground. 

According to ESPN, two supporters boarded the team bus to express their anger.

The supporters were furious at Jeremie Boga and Terem Moffi, as well as the club’s sporting director Florian Maurice. 

Boga and Moffi were reportedly punched, spat at and insulted, and they have now been given leave from the team after the attack. 

The pair visited the local police on Monday to press charges against the assailants. 

Boga drew the ire of fans after inviting Marseille fans into the Allianz Riviera last month. 

He later apologised in an Instagram post, insisting he didn’t intend to show disrespect towards Nice supporters. 

Moffi was assaulted after laughing and joking with members of Lorient’s hierarchy following Sunday’s defeat. 

Maurice was also attacked, despite security personnel being present.
