Famous night for Scots

After surviving a first-half of almost total French domination, lone striker James McFadden scored a glorious 30-yard drive in the 63rd minute to give Scotland all three points.

Alex McLeish's side are top of Group B having taken six points from the French and with two of their last three games at Hampden Park.

Italy moved in to second place with a win in Ukraine but the night belonged to the Scots, who caused a massive shock in Paris - and one which looked so unlikely for most of the match.

With only McFadden in attack, and Paul Hartley protecting the back four, it promised to be a difficult night for McLeish's men - and that is exactly how the first half panned out.

As expected, the French soon took control, the Scots struggling to get out of their own half with any real conviction.

In the 55th minute, Nicolas Anelka presented Franck Ribery with France's best chance of the game with a clever dink just inside the Scotland penalty area.

The Bayern Munich man's left-footed strike from 12 yards was parried by Craig Gordon and the midfielder blasted the rebound high over the bar.

Seconds later the Sunderland goalkeeper pulled off another great save, tipping Anelka's shot from 12 yards over the bar, the Scots again surviving the resultant corner.

Then in the 63rd minute Scotland turned the game on its head with the game's decisive moment - the ball broke to McFadden at least 30 yards from goal and, out of the blue, the Everton striker drove a glorious shot in the top corner.
