Ousmane Dembélé announced himself on the world stage in emphatic fashion, scoring a hat trick before the half-time whistle to put France 3-1 ahead of Norway at the FIFA World Cup on Friday.

The forward's three-goal burst — one of which came courtesy of an assist from Kylian Mbappé — marked the first first-half hat trick at the World Cup since 1994, underlining just how dominant France were in the opening period.

Dembélé's performance gave France a commanding cushion heading into the second half, with Mbappé's involvement in the build-up underlining the potent attacking partnership developing between the two forwards.
