The 21-year-old, called up after injuries to other French attackers, scored after only eight minutes on the pitch to put the gloss on an easy win
Lille attacking midfielder Jonathan Ikone marked his international debut for France with a goal in a 4-1 Euro 2020 qualifier win over Albania, a moment that he described as a “dream come true”.
The 21-year-old was called up after a spate of injuries for Les Bleus. Kylian Mbappe and Ousmane Dembele were both missing from the squad, leaving the door open for Ikone, who starred in the summer’s European Under-21 Championships.
