Kingsley Coman's Brace Leads France over Albania 4-1 in Euro 2020 Qualifier

France are top of Group H of the qualification campaign for UEFA Euro 2020 after beating Albania 4-1 at the Stade de France on Saturday.

Kingsley Coman bagged a brace to get his first goals for his country, while Olivier Giroud and substitute Jonathan Ikone also found the net. Those goals gave Les Bleus all three points and kept the 2018 FIFA World Cup winners ahead of Iceland on goal difference.

Sokol Cikalleshi scored from the penalty spot in stoppage time, but it was little consolation for the away side.

There was a delayed start to the match after the visitors were left aggrieved when the wrong national anthem was played:
