On Tuesday, Antoine Griezmann's double-handed France a 2-0 win against Finland in their 2022 World Cup qualifier, ending a five-game losing streak for the World Cup holders.

With his brace, the 30-year-old Atletico Madrid striker equaled Michel Platini's total of 41 goals for his country, 10 behind all-time leader Thierry Henry and five behind Olivier Giroud.

Victory will help to put to rest the lingering memories of France's heartbreaking penalty shootout loss to Switzerland in the last 16 of Euro 2020 this summer.

The three points extended France's lead at the top of the table to seven points over Finland, who still have two games to play.

As the game approached its conclusion, the French came dangerously close to surrendering a goal when Hernandez's poor backpass let Teemu Pukki in, but Lloris saved the day.
