France sweep Iceland aside in four-goal rout
World champions France easily beat Iceland to register their second victory in two Euro 2020 qualifying matches.
Samuel Umtiti put the hosts into the lead with a glancing header from Kylian Mbappe’s left-wing cross after just 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.
Didier Deschamps’ side lead Group H on goal difference, ahead of Turkey, who also have six points from their two games.
Elsewhere in Group H, Everton striker Cenk Tosun scored twice as Turkey thumped Moldova 4-0 and Albania cruised to a 3-0 win in Andorra.
