Woeful France hit 10-year low in terrible Turkey performance

France may be the world champions but they hit a 10-year low in failing to muster a single shot on target in a one-sided Euro 2020 qualifying defeat to Turkey on Saturday.

Turkey won 2-0 thanks to first-half strikes from Kaan Ayhan and Cengiz Under, though the margin does not tell the entire story of the performance from a very poor France side.

Despite racking up 559 passes of the ball, compared to Turkey's 322, Didier Deschamps' side could not muster a single shot on target, and had just four efforts overall as they were well corralled by Turkey when they did attack.
