'Don't cry 4-3 Argentina!' - Cantona pays tribute to Mbappe heroics

Eric Cantona has paid tribute to new France hero Kylian Mbappe as only he can, with a unique rendition of Andrew Lloyd Webber classic 'Don't Cry for me, Argentina'.

Mbappe wrote his way into World Cup history with a brilliant performance to put Argentina to the sword in a vintage last 16 clash.

The Paris Saint-Germain teenager scored two goals and also won a penalty converted by Antoine Griezmann in a 4-3 win.

That victory sent France to the quarters, where another Rioplatense obstacle in the shape of Uruguay stands in the way of Didier Deschamps' men and the last four.
