Griezmann at double as France beat Germany

Antoine Griezmann scored twice in the second half as world champions France came from behind to beat Germany 2-1 in their Nations League clash and increase the pressure on Joachim Low.

Germany looked to have produced the required response from a 3-0 defeat in Holland on Saturday, which left them in danger of relegation, as Toni Kroos slotted in a penalty just before the break.

Les Bleus, though, regrouped following the restart, as Griezmann equalised just after the hour with a well-taken looping header.

The Atletico Madrid frontman then kept his cool to convert from the spot with 10 minutes left following a somewhat controversial penalty.

It was a sixth defeat in the past 10 games for Low’s squad, who crashed out of the group stages at the World Cup in Russia and remain bottom of their Nations League table with just one point from three matches.

France, meanwhile, look set to progress as winners of Group One, now they are four points clear of Holland.

The Dutch wrapped up a successful weekend of friendlies as they held top-ranked Belgium to a 1-1 draw at the King Baudouin Stadium.

Ronald Koeman’s men had beaten Germany 3-0 on Saturday and would have been the happier of the two sides in Brussels.

Dries Mertens volleyed Belgium into a fifth-minute lead but that was cancelled out in the 27th minute by Arnaut Groeneveld.

Groeneveld finished smartly after Memphis Depay’s through-ball picked him out following a quick Dutch break.
