Ousmane Dembele leads 10-man France to friendly win over England

Ousmane Dembele scored his first international goal to give 10-man France a 3-2 win over England in a friendly in Paris on Tuesday night.

Despite Harry Kane's opening goal for England, France rallied to take the lead before half-time through Samuel Umtiti and Djibril Sidibe.

But a Kane penalty soon after the break -- accompanied by a controversial decision involving the video assistant referee to send off Raphael Varane -- allowed England to equalise, only for Dembele to finally take his chance and net the winner.

After a show of solidarity in a pregame ceremony, England's opener come on the counter-attack in the ninth minute when Raheem Sterling laid the ball off for the overlapping Ryan Bertrand, who sent in a cross for Kane to tap in.
