Turkey have maintained their 100% winning record in the Euro 2020 qualifying, with a shocking 2-nil home victory over world champions France.

Roared on by a fantastic crowd in Konya, Turkey were the better side throughout the match, and opened the scoring when Kaan Ayhan headed home after 30 minutes. 

Roma midfielder, Cengiz Under, then doubled the lead just before halftime, with a fine finish from inside the box, after a series of errors by the Frenchmen.

With the victory, Turkey leapfrogged France to top of group H, having taken the maximum 9 points from 3 matches, while Les Blues have 2 wins and a defeat.
