Iceland 0-1 France: 5 talking points from the game | UEFA Euro 2020 Qualifiers

#2 Antoine Griezmann inspires France to the win

Antoine Griezmann inspired France to all three points.

After his high profile transfer to Barcelona in the summer, Antoine Griezmann has endured a tough start to life at the Camp Nou. The Frenchman has struggled to find his feet and has lacked the consistency made him so successful at Atletico Madrid.

The international break provided Griezmann a chance to regain his form with his national side and the Barcelona man took it with both hands.

In a French team lacking quite a few first-team players, it was up to Griezmann to stand up and be counted. The former Atletico Madrid player had a stellar outing, registering seven shots in the game, two of which were on target. He also provided three key passes in the game and attempted three dribbles with a 67% success rate.

He pressed very well when the team lost possession and recorded five tackles with a success rate of 80%. However, his biggest contribution to the game was winning the penalty in the 64th minute.

Griezmann collided with Ari Skulason in the box and went down, leaving Italian referee Gianluca Rocchi with no choice but to point to the spot.
