MIAMI — England beat France 6-4 in a high-scoring World Cup romp on Saturday to seal third place as Kylian Mbappe became the competition’s all-time leading scorer with 22 goals.

While Lionel Messi’s Argentina and Spain prepare for the World Cup final in New Jersey on Sunday, the two losing semi-finalists clashed in the humidity of Miami for the bronze medal match.

The first half was not the performance France coach Didier Deschamps wanted in his final match in charge as his team collapsed.

France made multiple changes from the line-up they used for the semi-final defeat to Spain — and the new defence was in disarray as Declan Rice kicked off the scoring with a long-range effort before defender Ezri Konsa nodded in.

Saka notched two more goals to put England 4-0 ahead at half-time.

An angry Deschamps described the first-half performance as “catastrophic” and bolstered his line-up at the break with a clutch of first-choice players.

Within three minutes of the restart, Mbappe scored his ninth goal of the tournament and Bradley Barcola notched another.

Mbappe, 27, then scored the goal that took him past Messi to become the top scorer in the history of the World Cup, with 22 goals over three tournaments.

Messi will have a chance to reclaim the record in the final.

Saka rounded off his hat-trick with a penalty but when Ousmane Dembele scored in the sixth minute of added time, it gave France hope of an improbable draw.

Up stepped Jude Bellingham to cap a superb tournament and became the first England player to score seven goals at a World Cup when he dribbled around the French defence to score his side’s sixth.

“I would have preferred not to be the all-time top scorer and to be playing tomorrow’s match,” said Mbappe.
