France 2-0 Belgium: Ousmane Dembele stunner gets Les Bleus back to winning ways

France got back to winning ways with an impressive victory over Belgium, thanks to goals from Randal Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembele.

After a slow start from the hosts, which saw the Red Devils dominate proceedings in Lyon, Randal Kolo Muani’s close-in strike and Ousmane Dembele’s left footed drive handed Les Blues their first points of the Nations League campaign.

It was a positive response by the French, who changed eight of the starting players, including Kylian Mbappe, after being beaten 3-1 by Italy in Paris last Friday in their opening Group A2 fixture.

But they had to weather early attacks by their visitors before settling into a rhythm and then imposing themselves on the contest.

Italy won the other Group A2 fixture against Israel in Budapest on Monday to open up a three-point advantage. Belgium, who beat Israel 3-1 in Hungary last Friday, share second spot with France on three points.
