France defender Benjamin Pavard made a spectacular comeback to the team as his superb second-half strike saw them beat Republic of Ireland 1-0 away in Euro 2024 qualifying Group B on Monday.
Pavard, cast aside at last year's World Cup after a woeful opening game, struck from 18 metres to put France on six points from two games after Friday's 4-0 drubbing of the Netherlands.
