Ousmane Dembele celebrated his return to the international fold with his first competitive goal for France in World Cup qualifying on Sunday.

Dembele was one of three Barcelona players in a France team showing plenty of changes from Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Ukraine. Clement Lenglet was back in defense, while Antoine Griezmann featured in attack along with Dembele.
France doubled their lead just before half-time when Sergey Malyy headed a Griezmann corner past his own goalkeeper and into the net.
More chances came France’s way after the break with Dembele and substitute Kylian Mbappe both seeing efforts saved by the goalkeeper.
