Mbappé, Bellingham and Olise Set Records in England's 6-4 Win Over France

In a thrilling third-place playoff, England defeated France 6-4, but the match was notable for several record-breaking performances. Kylian Mbappé scored twice, becoming the World Cup's all-time leading scorer with 22 goals. His brace also moved him to the top of the Golden Boot standings with 10 goals, surpassing Lionel Messi's previous mark. Despite Mbappé's heroics, France could not overcome England's attack. Bukayo Saka scored a hat-trick for England, while Jude Bellingham added a late goal to become the first English player to score seven goals at a single World Cup. On the French side, Michael Olise set a new record for most assists in a World Cup tournament, breaking a long-standing record held by Pelé. The high-scoring match featured end-to-end action, but England held on to secure the bronze medal. France's bid to equalize fell short in the final minutes.
