Paul Pogba scored a late goal to earn France a hard-fought 2-1 win against Australia in their opening World Cup Group C game on Saturday.

Technology played a major part in the game, especially in the decision of Pogba’s goal.

The midfielder, who was criticised after recent below-par performances, found the back of the net with a lob after a fine one-two with second-half substitute, Olivier Giroud, nine minutes from time.

The effort was confirmed by goal-line technology.
