Benjamin Pavard bagged the first brace of his international career by scoring two first-half goals for France in an international friendly against Scotland in Lille.
Scotland stunned the Stade Pierre Mauroy by taking a shock lead in the 11th minute when Billy Gilmour punished a mistake from Eduardo Camavinga inside the 18-yard box.
But France then turned the game around thanks to two strikes from Pavard in the next quarter of an hour.
Pavard headed the 2018 world champions level from an Antoine Griezmann corner kick.
He then doubled his tally with another header following a fine run and cross from Kylian Mbappe.
It was 3-1 to France before half-time thanks to a penalty kick converted by Mbappe after a foul by Liam Cooper on Olivier Giroud.
