England break unwanted record as Three Lions suffer World Cup heartache vs France

The Three Lions came into the game with plenty of optimism but were put on the back foot inside the opening half an hour when Aurelien Tchouameni blasted home from 25 yards to give Les Bleus the lead. However, Southgate's men responded well to going behind and were gifted an opportunity to level from the spot just after the break
