World champions France beat Iceland 4-0 to gain their second victory in two Euro 2020 qualifying matches.

Samuel Umtiti put the hosts ahead with a glancing header from Kylian Mbappe’s left-wing cross after 12 minutes.

Oliver Giroud scored France’s second as the ball bounced off him and into the net following Benjamin Pavard’s cross.

Mbappe added a third from Antoine Griezmann’s pass, before the Atletico Madrid striker netted a fourth six minutes later to complete the scoring.

France have now managed eight goals in two qualifying games, having beaten Moldova 4-1 in their opening qualifier on Friday.
