Spain beat France 2-0 in an international friendly at the Stade de France in Paris as video assistance for officials was trialled during the contest on Tuesday.

A penalty from David Silva and a finish from Gerard Deulofeu were enough for the Spanish in the second half, as Antoine Griezmann had a goal correctly ruled out by video replay.

Griezmann featured in attack with teenage sensation Kylian Mbappe for France. Silva, Vitolo and Diego Costa all dropped out of the starting lineup for Spain, as the visitors chose Alvaro Morata to lead the attacking unit.
