Antonio Griezmann puts on a man of the match display as he took the pool on his head with two clean goals to ensure Les Bleus qualify to the next round as France defeated Republic of Ireland 2-1 in Lyon.
Ireland started brilliantly, taking the lead through Robbie Brady’s second-minute penalty, but they eventually succumbed to the inspired hosts.
The Irish situation was not helped by the sending-off of Shane Duffy, but they can take huge pride from their performance. Ultimately, though, it is the French who progress in their home tournament.
