MBAPPE DOUBLE FIRES FRANCE INTO QUARTERS AS ENGLAND ROMP PAST SENEGAL
A brilliant double from Kylian Mbappe fired France into the World Cup quarter-finals on Sunday.
Paris Saint-Germain superstar Mbappe rifled home two blistering second-half strikes as France cruised to a 3-1 victory over Poland.
Veteran striker Olivier Giroud opened the scoring for the defending champions with his 52nd international goal to pass Thierry Henry as France's all-time leading scorer.
"It wasn't easy because Poland were well organized and tried to counter us," France coach Didier Deschamps said.
"Then there is Kylian with his ability to resolve all sorts of problems, and that's just as well for us.
"This team has been united from the beginning and obviously a result like this one confirms that. The joy is shared among everyone."
