France player ratings vs Scotland: Unlikely hero Benjamin Pavard saves Eduardo Camavinga's blushes and Kylian Mbappe runs the show as Les Bleus eventually romp to victory
Defender Pavard scored an unlikely brace as Didier Deschamps' charges came from behind to defeat the Scots 4-1
France were forced to come from behind but eventually ran out comfortable 4-1 winners as they saw off Scotland on Tuesday night in Lille.
The Scots took a shock lead through Billy Gilmour but it was France who were the masters of their own downfall, as Eduardo Camavinga inexplicably passed the ball to his opponent in the six-yard box, allowing him to shoot under no pressure.
Benjamin Pavard, though, restored parity with a superb header at the front post from a curling Antoine Griezmann corner. The defender then added an unlikely second with another brave header, getting on the end of a clever Kylian Mbappe delivery from the left flank.
Mbappe was then on the scoresheet himself, netting from the penalty spot after Olivier Giroud was fouled by Liam Cooper in the area.
In the second half, France dominated proceedings once more, and substitute Kingsley Coman added a fourth with a vicious volley after Griezmann hit the bar from close range.
This was a worthwhile run-out for Les Bleus, and a comfortable win for Didier Deschamps' men.
