Match Report
Bukayo Saka opened the scoring with his sixth goal since the World Cup with a close-range strike on his right-foot high to Jordan Pickford's left after a Martin Odegaard assist.
The England starlet then turned provider after picking Idrissa Gana Gueye's pocket and poking it into Gabriel Martinelli's path to double the lead on the stroke of half-time, following a lengthy VAR check for offside.
Odegaard then marked the hosts' ascendancy after latching onto a Leandro Trossard cut back inside the box to make it 3-0 in the 71st minute.
And Martinelli grabbed his second of the game just a few moments later to make sure of the points and consign the visitors to a 4-0 defeat that did not flatter the hosts.
