We took a good slap - Deschamps blasts France after Turkey defeat

The Les Bleus boss has laid into his players after a reversal in Group H that leaves them three points behind the team that defeated them

France head coach Didier Deschamps has said there are no positives to take from his side's shock defeat to Turkey in Saturday's Euro 2020 qualifier.

Les Bleus went down to two first-half goals in ten minutes, with Kaan Ayhan opening the scoring before Cengiz Under doubled Turkey's advantage.

World Cup holders France failed to muster a single shot on target across the 90 minutes despite fielding a strong side, and the defeat leaves them three points behind the Turks in Group H.
