International Roundup: France Held by Turkey, Ronaldo Hits 700, Racism in Bulgaria

England inched closer to confirming their place at the 2020 European Championships with a thumping 6-0 victory over Bulgaria in a match that won't be remembered for footballing reasons.

Tyrone Mings, Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford were the targets of abuse from the home crowd, with the referee having to enact UEFA's protocol for dealing with racist behaviour.

Elsewhere, France continued to stutter in their clash with Turkey, Cristiano Ronaldo had a bittersweet night in Ukraine and Kosovo continued to impress in Group A.

Here's a closer look at Monday's action.

As a chorus of racist chants rang around the Vasil Levski National Stadium, England showed bravery and determination to decimate Bulgaria in a stunning response to their loss in the Czech Republic on Friday.
