England secured third place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a thrilling 6-4 win over France at Miami Stadium. The Three Lions raced to a 4-0 lead by halftime thanks to Declan Rice's long-range strike, Ezri Konsa's header, and a Bukayo Saka brace.

France manager Didier Deschamps, in his 187th and final match, made four halftime changes that sparked a comeback. Kylian Mbappé scored twice and assisted another as Les Bleus pulled back to 4-3. But Saka converted a penalty to restore England's two-goal cushion.

Ousmane Dembélé added a stoppage-time goal for France before Jude Bellingham sealed victory with a stunning solo effort. Saka earned a 9/10 rating for his hat-trick, matching Rice's 9/10 for a goal and assist. England manager Thomas Tuchel received a 6/10.
