FRANCE 3-2 ENGLAND - MATT LAWTON AT THE STADE DE FRANCE: The temptation to blame Theresa May might have been considerable in the England dressing room. Our chastened Prime Minister was here after all. But Gareth Southgate will have to take the rap for this one as his decision to square up to this ferocious French attack with such a brittle defence proved England's undoing. Even after losing Raphael Varane to a controversial red card, awarded at the behest of the video referee, at the start of the second half, these precociously gifted France players had too much pace, skill and power for England in what, for an end-of-season friendly, was a surprisingly committed, entertaining encounter.
