France superstar Kylian Mbappe poked fun at Gibraltar's misfortune after correcting a reporter following their record-breaking 14-0 win on Saturday night. Ethan Santos' own goal and a strike from Marcus Thuram inside the first four minutes effectively ended the match as a contest, and from there it was about damage limitation for the minnows. But they were powerless to resist as Mbappe and his France team-mates ran riot in Paris. Debutant Warren Zaire-Emery became his country's youngest goalscorer at the age of 17 before Santos capped a horror show with a red card on 18 minutes to add to his own goal. Mbappe then grabbed his first goal of the night on the half-hour mark, before Jonathan Clauss, Kingsley Coman and Youssouf Fofana scored in a three-minute barrage to make it 7-0 before the interval.
