Kylian Mbappe says France can get its ‘hands dirty’ too after scrappy win over Paraguay

Philadelphia - France captain Kylian Mbappe said his side was happy to do whatever it takes to advance at the World Cup after it battled through a bad-tempered last-16 tie with Paraguay to win 1-0 on Saturday.Mbappe scored the winner from the spot in the 70th minute to bring his tally for the current tournament to seven and his overall total at the World Cup to 19 goals, but he was continually goaded by the Paraguayan defenders toward the end of the game in sweltering Philadelphia.“We knew what sort of match we were in for, but I think today went really well,” Mbappe said. “They thought we’d turn up in tuxedos, that we’d just come to pull off some spectacular moves,” Mbappe added.
