England on Saturday night hammered former World Cup champions France 6-4 in a ten-goal thriller to to clinch third position at the ongoing football fiesta in the US.
Basking from a painful loss to Argentina for playing a defensive game after just a goal lead barely three days ago at the semi final stage, the English team wasted no time in netting the first goal in the third minute as Arsenal star player Declan Rice registered the first goal.
In the 13th minute Konsa netted the second goal making England feel a little bit well placed as the match progresses.
In the 25th minute Bukayo Saka another Arsenal star netted the third goal making the French men looking rudderless.
The rudderless situation continued for the French national team as Saka from almost an impossible angle scored the 4th goal precisely in the 45th minute.
In the second stanza, Kyllian Mbappe reduced the tally to 4-1 in the 48th minute.
In the 66th minute Mbappe increased his world cup goals to ten as he netted France second goal.
Rampaging Barcola further reduced the tally to 4-3 at the 55th as this development pepped up the French team.
But in the 87th minute Bukayo Saka scored a penalty courtesy of a foul on Djed Spence in the French penalty box.
This did not deter the hard fighting French men as Dembele in the 96th minute rammed home a powerful shot and goal tally stood at 5-6 before gangling Bellingham powered a shot after dribbling three defenders to finally shut the game in the 98th minute at 6-4.’
