MIAMI: England held off a stunning France fightback to claim a 6-4 victory in a madcap Miami thriller on Saturday, securing third place for their best World Cup finish since their sole title triumph in 1966.
In a match where defending was a second thought, Kylian Mbappe scored two goals to become the top scorer of all time in World Cups as France battled back from 4-0 down to come within a handful of missed chances of equalising.
