PARIS (AP) — Paul Pogba is finding his scoring touch, heading in a valuable equalizer in France's 2-1 win against Sweden in a World Cup qualifier on Friday.
The Manchester United midfielder—the world's most expensive player—headed in off the crossbar in the 58th minute, three minutes after Emil Forsberg had punished a sloppy period of French play with a deflected free kick that wrong-footed goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
France winger Dimitri Payet, who set up Pogba's goal with one of his pinpoint free kicks from the left, also contributed another useful goal. Payet slotted home the winner in the 65th after a handling error from goalkeeper Robin Olsen when under pressure from forward Antoine Griezmann.
