    World champions France beat Iceland 4-0 to gain their second victory in two Euro 2020 qualifying matches.

    Samuel Umtiti put the hosts ahead with a glancing header from Kylian Mbappe’s left-wing cross after 12 minutes.

    Oliver Giroud scored France’s second as the ball bounced off him and into the net following Benjamin Pavard’s cross.

    Mbappe added a third from Antoine Griezmann’s pass, before the Atletico Madrid striker netted a fourth six minutes later to complete the scoring.

    France have now managed eight goals in two qualifying games, having beaten Moldova 4-1 in their opening qualifier on Friday.

    Didier Deschamps’ side lead Group H on goal difference, ahead of Turkey, who also have six points from their two games.
