Griezmann brace, Arsenal forward impresses in France 2-1 Ireland

Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann scored twice as France beat the Republic of Ireland 2-1 to move into the last eight of Euro 2016 on Sunday in Lyon.

France manager Didier Deschamps has made four changes to his side that drew 0-0 with Switzerland in their last match with Dimitri Payet, Blaise Matuidi, N’Golo Kante and Olivier Giroud all returning to the starting XI. Martin O’Neill named an unchanged side from their 1-0 win over Italy, with Wes Hoolahan dropped to the bench again.
