Brentford striker Marcus Forss scored as Finland claimed a famous win over world champions France in Paris.

France included Manchester United’s Paul Pogba, Everton’s Lucas Digne and Olivier Giroud of Chelsea.
But Finland, 55th in Fifa’s world rankings, secured a first victory over Les Bleus, and have now won their past three matches.
