A late stunner from Kylian Mbappé sealed a dramatic win for France in their opener against Senegal.
The Group I clash came to life in the second half with four goals, as Mbappé scored from 30 yards out to get his side off to a winning start in their quest to reclaim the World Cup.

Senegal were the better side in the first half, as Nicolas Jackson hit the post before Ismaïla Sarr missed a golden opportunity from close range to take the lead before the half-time whistle.
But Didier Deschamps, in his last campaign, roared his team to life in the second 45, as Mbappé hit first, getting on the end of a superb ball from Michael Olise.
It was then Bradley Barcola who made it two off the bench with a dinked finish, after he got on the end of an inch-perfect ball from Adrien Rabiot.
In added time, it looked like there'd be nervy finish as Ibrahim Mbaye halved the deficit, before Mbappé hit an outrageous strike from distance into the top corner, just moments after the restart, to seal the points.
He is now just two away from Miroslav Klose's all-time goalscoring record in the tournament.
