France strolled to their third straight win in UEFA European Under-21
Championship qualifying Group 10 by sweeping aside Armenia.
The contest was less than a quarter of an hour old when Yassine Benzia
broke the deadlock. France picked up the pace after the break, with
Olympique de Marseille forward Florian Thauvin registering either side
of Paul-Georges Ntep De Madiba's effort during a dizzying nine-minute
spell. The only blot on Les Bleuets' evening came when Davit Hakobyan
reduced the deficit with six minutes left.
There was an air of inevitability about the result from the moment
Benzia poked in De Madiba's centre from the left. Arsen Beglaryan later
produced a smart save to deny Geoffrey Kondogbia but was helpless to
prevent Thauvin scoring the visitors' second following a classy run.
De Madiba then showed fleet of foot to beguile his marker before
sending a rasping effort into the top corner. A fourth goal arrived two
minutes later, Lucas Digne picking out Thauvin, who made no mistake
with a thumping header. The hosts refused to lie down, though, and
were rewarded when Hakobyan found the net after taking receipt of
Viulen Ayvazyan's pass.
