Daryl Janmaat made a late substitute appearance for the Netherlands as they were beaten 2-1 by world champions France in their Nations League clash.

The Hornets’ right-back was an 82nd-minute replacement for Kenny Tete as Chelsea’s Olivier Giroud ended his 10-match goalless run with the winner for the hosts, who enjoyed a triumphant first appearance in Paris since their summer success.

Ryan Babel looked to have spoiled the homecoming party in the capital with his first competitive international goal in 13 years to cancel out Kylian Mbappe's opener.

However, with 15 minutes remaining, Giroud scored the 32nd goal of international career, taking him past Zinedine Zidane with only Thierry Henry, Michel Platini and David Trezeguet ahead of him on France's all-time list.

It also gave Didier Deschamps' side the advantage in Group One of League A, following their goalless draw in Germany earlier in the week.
