France 4-1 Scotland: Benjamin Pavard scores unlikely double as World Cup finalists prove too strong

Benjamin Pavard was the scorer of an unlikely brace as France came behind to beat Scotland in a friendly on Tuesday night.

Steve Clarke’s inform side took a surprise lead in Lille when Billy Gilmour scored his first international goal, but Didier Descamps’ side roared back with Pavard netting twice.

Kylian Mbappe made it three from the spot and in the second-half Kingsley Coman added a fourth.

Right, thanks very much for joining me! An entertaining evening in Lille.

Gareth Southgate's side have booked their place in Germany by beating Italy tonight. Here's all the action

In truth, few Scotland fans would have expected them to pick up a win in Lille. This was more a chance for Steve Clarke to have a look at this squad. Those who came in equipped themselves well in the absence of the likes of Andy Robertson and John McGinn, but they will still waltz back into the team again when the competitive action returns - fitness permitting

The full-time whistle goes and it's a comprehensive victory for France in the end. Gilmour put the visitors ahead, but that only sparked France into life, with Pavard netting twice, alongside goals from Mbappe and Coman

The forward breaks down the left hand channel and unleashes a low shot that is heading towards the far corner, only for the goalkeeper to get down and palm away

Ryan Christie and Stuart Armstrong come on for Billy Gilmour and Kenny McClean

Griezmann is withdrawn, replaced by Youssouf Fofana, while Boubacar Kamara comes on for Tchouameni

The resulting corner reaches Souttar at the back post, but he can't keep his effort down

Lovely play by the substitute, who rolls his man and fires a low shot goalwards, only for Maignan to tip around the post

They would certainly like to give something for their fans to cheer about, but at the moment, despite how much possession they're having, they can't get out of their own half
