France moved three points closer to qualification for next year's World Cup with Kylian Mbappé, Adrien Rabiot and Florian Thauvin all on target in a comfortable 3-0 Group D win over Azerbaijan at the Parc des Princes in Paris on Friday. Les Bleus are set to play Iceland on Monday but will do so without Mbappé, who took another knock to his sore right ankle.
The win keeps them top of the group with a maximum nine points from their three games, five points clear of second-placed Ukraine who won 5-3 in Iceland.
