France maintained their dreams of winning back-to-back World Cups after beating Poland 3-1.
Olivier Giroud became France’s outright all-time top scorer and Kylian Mbappe scored two brilliant goals before Poland got a consolation goal from a Robert Lewandowski penalty in the final minute.
France dominated the first half as they pushed for an opening goal and the deadlock was broken when Mbappe played a pin-point ball through to Giroud, who hammered it past a diving Wojciech Szczesny to claim a record 52nd goal.
The defending champions continued to press after the break and doubled their lead when Mbappe fired a shot from just inside the penalty area that shot into the top corner in the 74th minute.
But Mbappe was not done, adding a second goal in stoppage time with another screamer to seal the win and take his total for the tournament to five.
