After his brace against Senegal, Kylian Mbappe is now the 2/1
France have shortened into 4/1
Credit where it's due, France turned it on after a disjointed first half where they were fortunate not to trail at the break.
Kylian Mbappe was the epitome of their turnaround. Full of energy and endeavour, he showcased his world-class quality by scoring twice to become France's all-time record goalscorer.
He is now only two goals behind Miroslav Klose in the all-time World Cup charts. In such irresistible form, he's going to be difficult to stop.
90+9' - France 3-1 Senegal
How has that not gone in? Tchouameni directs a cross towards his own goal and Maignan somehow manages to claw the ball clear before it crosses the line.
I can't type quick enough.
Less than a minute after PSG's prodigious Ibrahim Mbaye put Hernandez on his backside and thumped an emphatic effort beyond Maignan, Kylian Mbappe goes down the other end and produces an outrageous effort from 30 yards out to put the game out of Senegal's reach.
What an end to a tremendous contest.
90+2' - France 2-0 Senegal
I sense Michael Olise will be getting an applause in many living rooms at present. (DISCLAIMER: I am stood up and applauding)
He's demonstrated this evening why he can be the player that carries France to a third World Cup crown.
90' - France 2-0 Senegal
There are eight minutes of additional time.
If you are interested in how this result impacts the outright betting, France are now the 4/1
88' - France 2-0 Senegal
Idrissa Gana Gueye is the latest Senegalese player to be withdrawn. Rayo Vallecano's Pathe Ciss is on in his place.
85' - France 2-0 Senegal
The latest setback has wounded the Lions of Teranga and Les Bleus can smell blood.
Mbappe is the latest to have an attempt at goal, but his effort is tame and Mendy easily gathers.
If the Senegal backline were hoping their pain might eas, Rayan Cherki is now on. The Manchester City magician replaces Desire Doue.
An instant impact from Bradley Barcola!
The substitute times his run perfectly to breach the Senegal defence and the pass from Rabiot is perfectly weighted. Barcola still has it all to do and he produces a divine dinked finish over Mendy.
It's a goal that's testament to France's remarkable attacking depth.
79' - France 1-0 Senegal
That's an outstanding delivery from El Hadji Malick Diouf.
The West Ham left-back fizzes a cross into the path of Jackson, who is unable to direct his flicked effort on target. The linesman does spare Jackson's blushes as he raises his flag for offside.
Deschamps makes his first change as Bradley Barcola replaces Ousmane Dembele.
75' - France 1-0 Senegal
Pape Thiaw makes his first alterations. Ismaila Sarr and Lamine Camara come off for Sunderland's Habib Diarra and the prodigious Ibrahim Mbaye - a player Dembele and Doue will know well.
Have a feeling Sarr might have a sleepless night over his spurned chance in the first half.
73' - France 1-0 Senegal
Credit to Nicolas Jackson who's delivered a tireless shift and done his future club career no harm at all.
France attack again, this time through Doue, and his low strike is deflected and saved by the feet of Mendy.
72' - France 1-0 Senegal
This is so much better from Deschamps' side.
There's greater fluency to their play, the passing is crisper and the interchanges are mesmerising to watch.
68' - France 1-0 Senegal
This game has well and truly come alive now!
France had been knocking on the door and Mbappe has flourished in the last 10 minutes.
But Senegal think they have restored parity as Nicolas Jackson produces an emphatic finish from a tight angle, only for the linesman to flag for offside - replays show the striker was a good yard off.
That is sublime from Michael Olise and Kylian Mbappe!
Olise produces an outrageous pass to pick out the run of Mbappe, who strikes first time with a swivelled effort to haul himself level with Olivier Giroud in France's all-time goalscoring charts.
59' - France 0-0 Senegal
Drama at the MetLife Stadium!
Mbappe goes down in the penalty area under a challenge from Sadio Mane, and despite desperate appeals from France, the referee awards a corner.
VAR intervened, prompting Alireza Faghani to review the footage. Despite evidence of Mane making no contact with the ball and taking the trailing leg of Mbappe, the referee decides no penalty!
"The attacker initiates the contact," Faghani says.
Didier Deschamps is outraged on the sidelines, and his team are completely dismayed.
57' - France 0-0 Senegal
A crucial save from Mendy!
Mbappe receives a pass in the penalty area and swivels before striking low, but Mendy sticks his leg out to make the stop.
56' - France 0-0 Senegal
A slick passing sequence from Senegal carves France open but once again the final pass is lacking the quality to capitalise.
54' - France 0-0 Senegal
Michael Olise forces Mendy into a save. Our Super Boost lands!
52' - France 0-0 Senegal
A spell of end-to-end attacks, but both of France's raids end at the feet of Mbappe.
The striker tries to cut inside but is easily dispossessed in the first attack, and then in France's subsequent attack, he loses the ball under his feet.
47' - France 0-0 Senegal
An early chance from France and we have life from Desire Doue.
A dinked pass finds him unmarked 30 yards from goal and Doue advances before firing an effort that skims the woodwork of Mendy's goal.
Second Half - France 0-0 Senegal
We're back underway in New Jersey. Another hopeless punt into the corner from kick-off which I cannot stand.
A rather ghastly opening 45 minutes for Kylian Mbappe. His first touch has let him down on several occasions and Senegal have maintained an excellent shape to limit Mbappe's influence.
