 77' England 1-2 France

GOAAAAL! Just moments after England's Jordan Pickford made a fine save to stop Olivier Giroud from scoring, the striker responds exactly in the manner France would have wanted, heading this one past Pickford courtesy an assist from Griezmann. France into the lead again with less than 15 minutes to play.
