FARO, Portugal (AP) — Strikers Olivier Giroud and Kylian Mbappé were on target as France won at Gibraltar 3-0 to maintain its perfect start to European Championship qualifying on Friday.

Giroud headed home after just three minutes from right winger Kingsley Coman’s cross to notch a record-extending 54th goal for World Cup runner-up France.

After forward Antoine Griezmann went close with a low shot, Mbappé slotted in a penalty in first-half injury time to make it 2-0 at the 30,000-capacity Estádio Algarve in Faro, and reach 39 goals for Les Bleus.
