VAR penalty and late Paul Pogba goal see France past Australia

France snatched a 2-1 victory over Australia in a game that saw them awarded the first VAR penalty decision in World Cup history.

Antoine Griezmann converted to give his side the lead after a tight first half had ended 0-0, but Mile Jedinak converted from the spot minutes later to equalise before Paul Pogba's deflected strike hit the bar and bounced over the line late on.

France fashioned the opening chance with two minutes on the clock, Kylian Mbappe bringing a save from Mat Ryan with an angled shot.

With Didier Deschamps' side dominating the early possession, Mbappe won a free-kick 25 yards out minutes later, but Pogba's strike was straight at goalkeeper Ryan.
