Mario Balotelli took just seven minutes to open his goalscoring account for new club Nice.
The Italian international, who left Liverpool to join Nice in the summer, sent his French side ahead from the penalty spot in the seventh minute of their Ligue 1 contest against Marseille.
The 26-year-old only scored three times in 23 appearances on loan at AC Milan last season and left Liverpool having only managed four goals in 24 matches for the Premier League outfit.
