da brdice： Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick as France made history with a record-breaking 14-0 victory against 10-man Gibraltar on Saturday night.
da pinup bet： Own goals from Ethan Santos and Aymen Mouelhi put Didier Deschamps' side 2-0 up inside the opening five minutes before debutant Warren Zaire-Emery got on the scoresheet soon after.
The 17-year-old was fouled as he shot at goal and Santos was sent off for the challenge after a VAR review. The onslaught continued when Kylian Mbappe, Jonathan Clauss, Kingsley Coman, and substitute Youssouf Fofana all scored before half time.
After stopping the bleeding for more than 15 second half minutes, Adrien Rabiot bagged and then Coman got his second with 25 minutes remaining. Substitute Ousmane Dembele added a splendid solo goal and Mbappe grabbed a brace to go third in France's all-time scoring list.
Mbappe then netted his hat-trick in magnificent fashion as the captain chipped the keeper from 40 yards to make it 12-0. Olivier Giroud rifled in a 13th one minute from time and then helped France secure the biggest win in European Championship qualification history – eclipsing Germany's 13-0 win over San Marino in 2006 – with a stylish bicycle kick.
GOAL rates France's players from Allianz Riviera Stadium…
GettyGoalkeeper & Defence
Mike Maignan (N/A):
It took until the 60th minute for Gibraltar to fashion something of a chance on the French goal. Had virtually nothing to do.
Jonathan Clauss (7/10):
Scored the second best goal of the evening with a stunning long-range effort, but had nothing to do in defence.
Jean-Clair Todibo (7/10):
Like his defensive teammates, had very little to do and tried his best to attack whenever possible.
Dayot Upamecano (7/10):
Wasn't troubled at the back but looked to get forward at every opportunity.
Lucas Hernandez (7/10):
Was always an option out on the left and was unlucky not to get a goal himself.

Warren Zaire-Emery (8/10):
Looked impressive on his debut as he showed pace, power, and skill; plus, he took his goal with aplomb. Was unfortunate to be forced off with an injury inside the opening 20 minutes.
Adrien Rabiot (7/10):
Was very relaxed in a midfield that overran the visitors all night.
Antoine Griezmann (8/10):
Was in the thick of the action as he ran the show in midfield. Beautifully set up Giroud late on.
Getty ImagesAttack
Kingsley Coman (8/10):
Was very dangerous in attack as his pace and trickery caused the away side problems throughout; and he got on the scoresheet in classy style.
Marcus Thuram (7/10):
His pressure forced Gibraltar into committing one of the early own goals and the Inter Milan forward put in the hard yards for his team. Lacked a clinical touch, mind.
Kylian Mbappe (9/10):
Took his penalty with ease, was in the right place at the right time for his second and then scored the goal of the night with a brilliant long-range strike.
GettySubs & Manager
Youssouf Fofana (7/10):
Had a quick impact when he came on as he got on the scoresheet soon after his introduction.
Olivier Giroud (8/10):
Had a well-taken goal disallowed for offside but got two late on, the best of which was a brilliant overhead kick.
Ousmane Dembele (7/10):
Scored a lovely solo goal mere minutes after coming on as he weaved in and out of Gibraltar's defence.
Boubacar Kamara (N/A):
Came on when France were out of sight.
William Saliba (N/A):
No time to make an impact.
Didier Deschamps (8/10):
Fielded a strong side and his subs were very effective in the second half in a record-breaking night.
