Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba took a lot of the spotlight in one of the craziest nights of tournament football in recent memory.
France went into their game in the last 16 against Switzerland as the heavy favourites but fell behind thanks to a first-half header from Benfica striker Haris Seferovic. Les Bleus were completely out of rhythm in a 3-4-3 formation and Pogba along with the rest of the team struggled.

Then came Pogba's moment of brilliance as he picked up a loose ball from 30 yards out, put it out of his feet and curled an absolute stunner into the top corner to give France a 3-1 lead.
Fans from all over went berserk on social media, with United fans donning their midfielder as the player of the tournament. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk
