France cruise to victory over Andorra in Euro 2020 qualifier

World champions France make light work of beating Andorra 3-nil. 

In Paris, the 2018 FIFA World Cup champions made light work of beating 136-ranked Andorra 3-0 at the Stade de France, Tuesday evening.

Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty for his country for the second game running but Kinglsey Coman, Clement Lenglet, with his first on the international goal, and Wissam Ben Yedder clinched three points.

Griezmann remarked "It is really annoying. I'll just need to keep working. You can't be on top of your game all the time."

Coman also scored two against Albania last Saturday.

Speaking to French TV channel TF1, Coman said "It has been a very good week. It has gone well personally and collectively."

England replied with a first-half goal binge that ended with Jadon Sancho scoring twice to make it 5-1 at half time.
