France recorded their biggest ever victory with a 14-0 rout of 10-man Gibraltar in a Euro 2024 Group B qualifier this morning as Kylian Mbappe grabbed a hat-trick and Warren Zaire-Emery scored on his debut.

France were 7-0 up by halftime with Marcus Thuram, Zaire-Emery, Mbappe, Jonathan Clauss, Kingsley Coman and Youssouf Fofana on the scoresheet after they had taken the lead through a third-minute own goal.

Gibraltar were reduced to 10 men in the 18th minute and France’s biggest ever win, 10-0 over Azerbaijan in 1995, was clearly within sight.

Adrien Rabiot and Coman’s second brought the record closer and Ousmane Dembele made it 10-0 before Mbappe scored twice and Olivier Giroud got in on the act with two late goals to complete the demolition job.
