Yehvann Diouf
NCE
Secures win with late penalty save
Diouf registered six saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 2-1 win over Brest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 85th minute.
Analysis: Diouf went from villain to hero in Friday's 2-1 win at Brest. The goalkeeper gifted the hosts the opener in the 15th minute when Ludovic Ajorque stole the ball from him and walked it into an empty net. The Senegal international, however, made up for it after Nice turned the game around, saving Kenny Lala's penalty deep into stoppage time to secure their first away win of the season. He finished with six saves and will look to build on the late heroics when Nice host Rennes on Saturday.
Concedes two
Diouf made two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against Lyon.
Analysis: Diouf recorded two saves and 37 passes but conceded twice. He has accumulated 15 saves and four clearances across the last four games and conceded five times. Next, he takes on Brest, who have netted nine times in the last four games.
Two saves in home win
Diouf had two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over Strasbourg.
Analysis: Diouf made two saves which helped his side to a 2-1 victory despite having conceded the first goal. In his six games this season he has kept one clean sheet and has conceded one goal in each of the last four games.
Seven saves in victory
Diouf made seven saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Lille.
Analysis: Diouf made seven saves in Sunday's 2-1 Ligue 1 home win over Lille, denying Ayase Ueda's point-blank header from Tiago Santos' cross in the 47th minute, Santos' powerful long-range effort in the 53rd and Ueda's piqued header in the 82nd minute that would have leveled the match. He was beaten only by Ueda's 79th minute half-volley in a match Nice managed defensively in the second half, with his three key stops in the final half-hour proving decisive in securing Nice's first Ligue 1 win of the season.
Concedes one in loss
Diouf registered four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against AJ Auxerre.
Analysis: Diouf made four saves to keep Nice in the match but was beaten by Cameron Archer's composed finish after being taken around by the striker. His 64.3 save percentage across four Ligue 1 matches this season leaves room for improvement, and with Nice sitting 18th in the standings, his next fixture against Lille, who top the league, will be an extremely difficult opportunity to add to his lone clean sheet of the campaign.
Makes two saves in draw
Diouf made two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Le Mans.
Analysis: Diouf made two saves for the second time in the season and now has five overall after three starts. The goalkeeper has one clean sheet over that span. He will now look for better luck at Auxerre on Saturday.
Concedes three Sunday
Diouf allowed three goals while making a save during Sunday's 3-0 win over Nice.
Analysis: Diouf conceded once in the first half and twice in the second as Nice dropped all three points Sunday. The goals were the first allowed this season after keeping a clean sheet in the opening match as Diouf has combined for three saves. Nice take on Le Mans at home next weekend.
Clean sheet in season opener
Diouf made two saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw against Lorient.
Analysis: Diouf was given a relatively easy match Saturday, with the goalie only making two saves on his way to a clean sheet. After only earning five in 26 appearances last season, this is a good start for the Senegalese keeper. He will now face Paris FC on Aug. 30, looking for another clean sheet then.
Fifth cleansheet of season
Diouf made four saves and allowed zero goals in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Metz.
Analysis: Diouf ended his season with an excellent performance, saving every shot he faced to record his fifth clean sheet of the campaign. The season overall was inconsistent, with the goalkeeper conceding 45 goals in 26 matches and even losing his starting role for six consecutive league games to teammate Maxime Dupe before eventually reclaiming it. Despite that, Diouf handled a heavy workload throughout the year, facing 141 shots while posting a respectable 67.4 percent save rate. He is expected to remain with Nice next season and keep his starting role. Diouf also appears likely to earn a place in the Senegal national football team squad for the World Cup after being named in the provisional 28 man roster featuring three goalkeepers.
Makes two saves in loss
Diouf made two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat against AJ Auxerre.
Analysis: Diouf made two or less saves for the ninth time in 31 starts. The goalkeeper has only four clean sheets over that span. He will now look to bounce back in the season finale against Metz on Sunday.
Makes three saves in draw
Diouf registered three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Lens.
Analysis: Diouf made three or more saves for the 22nd time in 30 starts in the season. The goalkeeper has only four clean sheets over that span, though. He will now look for better luck at Auxerre on Sunday.
Five saves keeps Nice alive
Diouf recorded five saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Marseille.
Analysis: Diouf came up with five saves in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Marseille, standing tall to keep Nice alive against a relentless home side that fired off 24 shots over 90 minutes at the Orange Velodrome. His top moments came against Leonardo Balerdi, who led Marseille with seven attempts but saw two prime chances shut down by Diouf's sharp positioning and quick reactions, which proved crucial in keeping the game within reach. He had no shot on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's 66th minute header, but his five-save effort still secured a valuable point that leaves coach Claude Puel's squad four points clear of the drop with three matches to go, and he'll aim to carry that momentum into Saturday's tough test against Lens.
Two saves in draq
Diouf recorded two saves and secured a clean sheet in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Lille.
Analysis: Diouf repelled each of the Lille shots on goal Saturday to record a clean sheet as Nice earned a share of the points in the scoreless draw. Across his last five starting appearances, the veteran keeper has managed 14 saves and three clearances while conceding eight goals and recording two clean sheets. Diouf will look for successive clean sheets Sunday when Nice travel for a showdown at Marseilles.
