Euro 2016: France leaves it late to defeat Albania 2-0

Late goals from Antoine Griezmann and Dimitri Payet saw hosts France edge past Albania to reach the Euro 2016 knockout stage, the BBC reorts.

Albania hit the post shortly after half-time when Ledian Memushaj bundled a cross past France keeper Hugo Lloris.

France striker Olivier Giroud also hit the post, before substitute Griezmann ended Albania’s resistance by nodding in Adil Rami’s right-wing cross.

Payet stroked in with the final kick as France clinched a flattering win.
