England beat France 6-4 in a chaotic World Cup third-place play-off to secure bronze, their best finish since 1966. Bukayo Saka scored a hat-trick, while Jude Bellingham added a late sixth after France almost erased a four-goal deficit.

Mbappe scored twice to become the World Cup’s all-time leading scorer with 22 goals and take control of the Golden Boot race. Michael Olise also broke the single-tournament assist record, creating another historic layer in a wild bronze match.
