KYLIAN Mbappe’s meteoric rise showed no sign of stopping as the France forward sealed the holders’ 2-1 win against Denmark to send them into the last 16 of the World Cup.

Mbappe, who will celebrate his 24th birthday two days after the Dec 18 final, took things into his own hands at the 974 Stadium with two goals after the break, even though he might have been a tad too selfish in the first half.
