Malu Gusto hacked Djed Spence down to the ground to win a penalty and stem the tide after France squandered a couple of chances to make it 4-4.

GOAL! France 3-4 England: Kylian Mbappe cuts it to one (66')
This is madness. What a game of football. What a pass from Michael Olise. What a finish from Kylian Mbappe.
