FT | France 4-6 England An unforgettable game of handbrake off football ends with England securing the Bronze medal by dashing France's hopes of an unlikely comeback from 4-0 down. Kylian Mbappé scored a brace to become the first man in history to log 22 World Cup games.

The substitute picks up the ball at the halfway line, works his way forward, dribbles past Maxence Lacroix and secures England the Bronze medal - a brilliant solo goal.

90+8 | GOAL: France 4-6 England (Bellingham)

The Ballon d'Or winner scores the game's ninth goal by drilling past Dean Henderson with a curling finish. Little time left now...

90+6 | GOAL: France 4-5 England (Dembélé)

90 | France 3-5 England We're into 7 minutes of stoppage time. Malo Gusto is replaced by Jules Koundé.

The Arsenal winger completes his hat-trick by sending Mike Maignan the wrong way. Les Bleus spurned chances to go level, but the 2026 World Cup Bronze medal is definitely going England's way now.

87 | France 3-5 England (Saka pen.)

85 | France 3-4 England Penalty England. Malo Gusto fouls Djed Spence.

81 | France 3-4 England Another big miss from Michael Olise after a mesmerising sequence of possession from France's attacking players. The game is so intense that referee Jesús Valenzuela actually needs treatment, as does Jarell Quansah.

79 | France 3-4 England Thomas Tuchel brings in Jude Bellingham and Elliot Anderson to reassert some control in midfield. Eberechi Eze and Ivan Toney make way.

76 | France 3-4 England If Les Bleus' first half was awful, what to make of England's second half? The Three Lions are pinned down behind the ball in their own half, losing balls and conceding fouls aplenty.

71 | France 3-4 England The least interesting of World Cup games turns out to be an unmissable blockbuster as Les Bleus go within one after being 4-0 down. Kylian Mbappé has been involved in all of France's three goals. One of one.

This is frankly ludicrous. Kylian Mbappé enters the history books as the first player to hit 22 World Cup goals. Another assist from Michael Olise. One more!

66 | GOAL: France 3-4 England (Mbappé)
