Martial praised by Deschamps after Man Utd star limps out of France win

France boss Didier Deschamps praised the form of Manchester United forward Anthony Martial after a 2-0 win away in Kazakhstan.

The world champions picked up the victory thanks to a first-half strike from Ousmane Dembele and an own goal after the break, getting their first win of the qualifying campaign after being held 1-1 by Ukraine in their opener.

Martial was one of several players drafted into the starting XI, although he was forced off injured early in the second half.
