France complain to FIFA after VAR wrongly rules out Antoine Griezmann equaliser vs Tunisia

The French FA are set to complain to FIFA after controversially being denied an equaliser against Tunisia at the World Cup - but have already been told that the result will not change.

A much-changed side fell to a 1-0 defeat to Tunisia in their final Group D fixture on Wednesday afternoon despite having already secured their place in the last-16. Former Sunderland man Wahbi Khazri scored the winning goal just before the hour mark but that was not enough for the African side to progress with Australia instead going through.

It could have been far worse for Tunisia with Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann guiding in a late equaliser for the reigning champions, as he fired home from a poor clearance. However, the goal was chalked off in controversial circumstances.
