“Ooo la la. Kylian Mbappe bangs it in for his 4th goal in the World Cup and he’s now the tournament’s top scorer,” former England striker and football pundit Gary Lineker tweeted.
Olivier Giroud scripted history by scoring his 52nd goal for the France national football team, beating Thierry Henry’s record, giving his team a lead against Poland by scoring a goal just before half-time.
“Olivier has always been an important player. Even if four years ago with the title he didn’t score – he was always important,” France coach Didier Deschamps said.
France will now face England in the quarter-finals match on December 11.
