Ousmane Dembele hit a terrific treble as France topped their group, winning all three group games at a FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1998. He achieved a historic hat-trick in Boston, which was the second-fastest World Cup hat-trick of all time.
Dembele had not scored a major tournament goal until this week, despite winning UEFA Champions League titles with Paris Saint-Germain and collecting The Best FIFA Men's Player prize. He broke his World Cup duck against Iraq and now has four goals on the world stage after this treble. Guy Stephan held the reins as assistant coach in the absence of Didier Deschamps. Kylian Mbappe hit the crossbar inside a minute and his crossfield ball led to Dembele's opening goal.
