Kylian Mbappe added another late twist to one of the most dramatic World Cup finals of all-time as he became the first man to score a hat-trick in the fixture since 1966.

That year, it was England's Geoff Hurst who nabbed three goals after extra-time to secure a 4-2 victory over West Germany.

This time, Mbappe's third equalled the score for France at 3-3 with Argentine, with a converted penalty in the 118th minute.

Or, as former Scotland forward Ally McCoist put it on ITV: "Mbappe is the first player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final where all three goals have crossed the line".
