ANTOINE GRIEZMANN’S double gave France a 2-0 victory over Finland in their 2022 World Cup qualifier Tuesday and ended a run of five games without a win for the World Cup holder.

The Atletico Madrid striker’s brace took him level with Michel Platini on 41 goals for his country — 10 behind all-time leader Thierry Henry and five short of Olivier Giroud.

The three points saw France extend its lead at the top of the table to seven points over the Finns, who have two games in hand.

“We did not do everything well but we have rediscovered our confidence,” said France coach Didier Deschamps.

“This puts our fate in our hands and we must finish the job in November.”

Meanwhile, the Dutch national team won 6-1 against Turkey at home.

Memphis Depay was the big man on the side of the Orange with three goals.
