Didier Deschamps’ men, mega sb though, appeared to have levelled the scores in the ninth minutes of injury time when Griezmann powered home from close range – only for VAR to rule it out after adjudging that a French player was offside in the build-up.

However, France are upset at the decision as it only came once the game had restarted – with FIFA rules saying that VAR interjections cannot happen after a match has been restarted, which is exactly what happened in the match at the Education City Stadium.
