OLIVER HOLT AT BOSTON STADIUM: In the end‚ this was about neither Erling Haaland‚ nor Kylian Mbappe. It was about a game played with the kind of glorious abandon that is very much at odds with the usual constraints of tournament football‚ a match that rained with goals and excitement‚ a 4-1 victory for France that was often dazzling and which underlined their status as World Cup favourites. And it was about Ousmane Dembele‚ the Ballon d'Or winner. Until now‚ he had existed in this World Cup largely as a foil for Mbappe‚ unselfishly laying on his captain's second goal in the defeat of Iraq in Philadelphia at the start of the week.

PSG forward Ousmane Dembele has beaten team-mate Vitinha and Marseille winger Mason Greenwood to be crowned Ligue 1 Player of the Year‚ despite his severe lack of game time in the division. Dembele‚ who won the Ballon d'Or last year‚ has only started nine games in the French top flight this campaign‚ scoring 10 goals and providing six assists‚ with the attacker saving his best performances for the Champions League. In spite of his low numbers‚ the 28-year-old still did enough in the eyes of his colleagues to retain his title at the UNFP Trophies ceremony in Paris on Monday evening.
