France players had a lot of fun in Iceland rout – Deschamps

Didier Deschamps said his France players had "a lot of fun" as they made it back-to-back Euro 2020 qualifying wins against Iceland on Monday.

France got their campaign off to a routine start with a 4-1 win over Moldova on Friday and the world champions delivered another goal-laden victory upon their return to Paris as they brushed aside Erik Hamren's Iceland 4-0.

Samuel Umtiti opened the scoring after 12 minutes and France had to wait until midway through the second half for a second – Olivier Giroud steering home from close range to become his country's third all-time goalscorer.
