Kluivert and Thuram score in the same match – that's not a football headline from 1998 but 2021

Justin Kluivert scored his first Nice goal and set up another in a 4-0 thrashing of Bordeaux in Ligue 1 on Saturday, while Mauricio Pochettino said Lionel Messi would likely make his Paris Saint-Germain debut later this weekend.

Kluivert, son of former Netherlands forward Patrick Kluivert, made his contributions before going off injured after 35 minutes.

The match at the Allianz Riviera was played behind closed doors after a pitch invasion during last Sunday's controversial game with Marseille, which saw visiting winger Dimitri Payet throw a bottle back into the stands after it was launched at him.

Nice was without Kasper Dolberg, who had scored in the Marseille match after Denmark forward suffered a knee injury in training. For the visitors, Brazilian Fransergio made his debut in midfield after his midweek arrival from Braga.

Winger Kluivert, 22, who is on loan from Roma, scored in the seventh minute, highlighting his quality barely half an hour after Nice announced the signing of Algeria striker Andy Delort from Montpellier.

Delort's international team-mate Hicham Boudaoui broke down the right before crossing for Kluivert, who side-footed home.

Kluivert turned provider just after the half-hour mark. He led a counter-attack, charging towards the Bordeaux box before feeding Amine Gouiri to finish easily. Following his early heroics, Kluivert's game was overdue to a thigh injury as he was replaced by debutant Calvin Stengs, who joined from AZ Alkmaar in July.

Gouri then took his tally for the season to three goals, converting a penalty four minutes before the break.

In the empty stadium, the second half meandered until substitute Khephren Thuram, a son of former French World Cup-winner Lilian Thuram, scored with his first touch on 85 minutes for his maiden goal of the season.

On Sunday, Messi is expected to make his bow for the league leaders in the trip to Reims. Coach Pochettino said the Argentina attacker, along with Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, will "certainly" be in the squad heading to the Champagne region.
