ADRIEN RABIOT fired France to first place in Nations League Group A2 with a headed brace in Sunday’s 3-1 win over Italy at the San Siro.
France were on their way to top spot when Digne forced home via Vicario’s back as they needed to win by at least two goals to move above Italy. A tally of 13 points from a group including France and Belgium seemed unlikely for Italy in the aftermath of their dreadful European Championship title defence in Germany.
However, the last six goals Italy have conceded have come from set-pieces, a fragility which is unusual for the traditionally defence-minded Azzurri and was exacerbated by an underwhelming display from Vicario.
