Yehvann Diouf
NCEFifth 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.
