France’s Ousmane Dembélé scores a first-half hat trick in 4-1 win over Norway

Les Bleus had too much for the much-changed Norway, with Miguel Delaney outlining how their scary depth justifies their status as favourites

Dembele achieved this feat against Norway in their final FIFA World Cup group stage match at Foxborough on Friday.

Only Austria's Erich Probst reached the milestone quicker, taking 24 minutes against Czechoslovakia during the 1954 edition.

Paris Saint-Germain forward Dembele opened the scoring in the seventh minute at the Boston Stadium on Friday, struck again on 20 minutes and, after Thelo Aasgaard had pulled one back, he made it 3-1 in the 32nd minute.
