Internationals: Asano scores, Kolasinac assists

Six of our players were in action for their nations on Thursday night, with Takuma Asano scoring for Japan and Sead Kolasinac providing an assist for Bosnia.

Here’s the full round-up of how they fared:

Laurent Koscielny, Olivier Giroud, Alexandre Lacazette
France 4-0 Netherlands
Thursday, August 31

Laurent and Olivier started, and Alex came off the bench to help France to an important World Cup qualifier win in Saint-Denis.

Olivier set up Antoine Griezmann’s early opener before two Thomas Lemar goals and one from Kylian Mbappe - who replaced Olivier after 76 minutes - put the seal on a comprehensive victory.
