Watch: Tchouameni shoots through Bellingham’s legs for stunning goal in England vs France FIFA World Cup 2022

Aurelien Tchouameni once again proved to be pivotal for France in their 2-1 win vs England in the FIFA World Cup 2022 quarter-finals, at the Al Bayt Stadium in Qatar on Sunday. The Real Madrid midfielder was in brilliant form and also grabbed a goal for Les Bleus in the 17th-minute, followed by Harry Kane equalising for England in the 54th-minute. With the score level at 1-1, Oliver Giroud came with the winner for France in the 78th-minute. Kane had another chance to equalise but missed his second penalty of the match.

Other than France’s winning display, Tchouameni also scored a brilliant goal which could prove to be a goal of the tournament contender. With France going on the counter,Kylian Mbappe glided past Declan Rice and then switched to his right, with Antoine Griezmann pulling it back for Tchouameni. The 22-year-old placed his shot between Jude Bellingham’s legs and then into the bottom-left corner for a goal!

Here is the video of Tchouameni’s goal:

After the quarter-final win, France will face Morocco in the semi-finals. They have reached the World Cup semi-final for the seventh time and it is also the first time they have done so in consecutive editions of the competitions since 1982/1986. This also marked the seventh time England have been eliminated from the quarter-final round of the World Cup, more than any other side in the history of the competition.

The result was also Didier Deschanmps’ 13th World Cup win in just his 17th match-in charge of France (Draw 2, Loss 2). Only Felipe Scolari (14) and Helmut Schon (16) grabbed more wins in the competition. The other semi-final in Qatar is between Argentina and Croatia.
