Kylian Mbappe "lost his head" and kicked out at rival before World Cup final turnaround

Kylian Mbappe's World Cup final was turned on its head in a matter of moments - after his frustration appeared to be getting the better of him.

Mbappe cut an isolated figure for much of the game at the Lusail Stadium after Argentina raced into a 2-0 lead and looked to be cruising to World Cup glory. Shortly before the hour mark, frustration started to build amongst Mbappe and his teammates with Rodrigo De Paul at the receiving end.

Adrien Rabiot was first booked for scything down the Argentina midfielder before, moments later, Mbappe kicked out at his heels after the ball was long gone. Mbappe escaped further punishment whilst De Paul was left in a heap, but co-commentator Jermaine Jenas highlighted that France's superstar had "lost his head" as his World Cup final unravelled.
