Kylian Mbappe added another fine solo goal in France's 2-0 victory against Austria, while the Netherlands, Belgium and Croatia all claimed wins in the UEFA Nations League late on Thursday. Mbappe and Olivier Giroud scored in the second half in France's convincing victory. Mbappe now has 28 goals in 58 games for France and is level with Youri Djorkaeff in 10th place on Les Bleus' all-time scoring list.

Meanwhile, Giroud, who is about to turn 36, became France's oldest goalscorer, and sits only two goals behind Thierry Henry's all-time scoring record of 51 for Les Bleus, reports Xinhua. With the win, world champions France move up to third place in Group 1, with Austria sitting bottom of the group. World Cup runners-up Croatia took over the lead in Group 1 with a 2-1 win over Denmark. Borna Sosa put Croatia ahead in the second half, before Christian Eriksen levelled the score for Denmark.
