Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe ran riot against Argentina in the first-half of France's round of 16 tie on Saturday.
The prodigious 19-year-old wreaked havoc down Argentina's left flank and won his side a penalty in the 12th minute after he picked up the ball deep inside his own half before surging up the pitch and beating three defenders.
Mbappe was hurtling towards goal before he was eventually brought down inside the box by Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo who simply couldn't live with his pace.

Griezmann converted from the spot to score his second goal of the tournament as he continues to be a huge influence in this French side as he has now contributed to 10 of France's last 15 goals at the World Cup and European championships.
Mbappe continued to cause Argentina problems throughout the half and nearly won his side a second penalty but Iranian referee Alireza Faghani ruled that Nicolás Tagliafico foul occurred outside the box with Paul Pogba blasting over the ensuing free-kick.
