De Bruyne and Hazard twice threatened at the start of the second half, before that moment Roberto Martinez warned about in his pre-game press conference happened: "You can't lose concentration against France."

But they did.

After 51 minutes Umtiti stole a yard on Marouane Fellaini from a corner and although it got a touch on the tall midfielder, his header ended up in the back on the net.

Giroud, always in the right place, but not always as clinical in his finishing had a chance to double the lead after Mbappe's backheel, but Courtois, for the second time in the game, made a vital stop

Dries Mertens came on, Lloris punched his first cross clear and Fellaini headed his second wide.
