This gave England their best World Cup finish since 1966. Kylian Mbappe scored two for France and pulled two ahead of Lionel Messi in the Golden Boot race and became the World Cup’s leading goal scorer ever.
Incredible Game With England Winning Bronze Medal
England were 0-4 up at half-time in Miami with a hat-trick from Bukayo Saka as France sleepwalked through the first half. France came out of the half-time break a new team as Kylian Mbappe scored two goals to become the all-time record goal scorer of the World Cup.
A goal from Bradley Barcola made it 3-4, but then Spence won a penalty for England, which Saka scored to complete his hat-trick. Ousmane Dembele made it four for France before Bellingham put the icing on the cake for England. Bellingham’s goal made it seven for him in the tournament, which is the most for an English player at a major tournament.
England can now leave the US for their home country with their heads held high. They may not have won the tournament, but they finished in style.
