Celtic starlet Moussa Dembélé proved too hot to handle for England Under-21s as he scored twice to earn France a thrilling 3-2 victory. Sunderland forward Duncan Watmore gave England an early lead with a sumptuous chip but Dembélé’s double, which included the first of three pin-point free-kicks in the match, put France in command. Despite the impressive array of goals at the Stade Robert Bobin, eight miles north of Paris, Dembélé was the star of the show. The lead lasted only nine minutes, however, as Dembélé burst on to Yann Bodiger’s pass and finished with aplomb. The forward then added a second in the 64th minute, driving a free-kick past Derby goalkeeper Jonathan Mitchell to put France ahead.
