AARON RAMSEY scored a stunning goal on his Nice debut just one minute after coming off the bench.
The Welshman’s magic touch comes only weeks after he secured the free move to France, and he paid the club back with an immediate equaliser against Toulouse.
The opening weekend game in Ligue 1 ended in a 1-1 draw, with Ramsey cancelling out Thijs Dallinga’s opener.
The midfielder netted only moments after coming on for Calvin Stengs.
In the 78th minute, Ramsey stormed into the box as he looked to connect to team-mate Billal Brahimi’s cutback.
He timed his run perfectly and swept the ball expertly beyond the keeper and into the roof of the net.
