Mbappe and Griezmann run riot as the World champs destroy defensive visitors
Pogba also shone and Giroud went third in France's all-time scoring list as they made it two wins in two Euro 2020 qualifiers
KYLIAN MBAPPE showed why he is Real Madrid's transfer priority by leading France's scintillating destruction of Iceland.
The PSG striker's change of pace and weaving bursts eclipsed the second-half swagger of Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann as the world champions dominated their defensive visitors to make it two easy wins from two Euro 2020 qualifiers.
Mbappe teed up Samuel Umtiti's early opener and saw Oliver Giroud become France's third-highest-scorer ever, before poaching the third goal himself and producing a mesmerising backheel for Griezmann to round off this Paris parade.
But it was only after Mbappe swapped from the right side to the left - and cut inside rather than to the byline - that he created France's 12th-minute breakthrough.
The 20-year-old dinked onto his right-foot for a flashing cross converted by an equally-dashing header by Barcelona centre-back Umtiti - a firm glance in off the far post.
Hard-working Giroud soon had a firm header of his own brilliantly tipped over by Hannes Halldorsson, following a whipped cross from Benjamin Pavard.
And in contrast, Iceland's only first-half threat came, predictably, from a couple of set-pieces as Everton midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson offered little of the creativity almost he alone provides them with.
Mbappe jinked in to screw a right-footer wide before Pavard, Blaise Matuidi, with a glorious headed chance he put wide, and Mbappe again went close just before the break.
France's clear edge was less menacing early in the second period as Iceland briefly turned the contest into the physical scrap they were hoping for.

And in fact, Iceland's Aston Villa midfielder Birkir Bjarnason burst through for a low drive tipped away by the otherwise-undisturbed Hugo Lloris.
But it was always a question of if, not when, France's abundance of individual flair would explode again into collective rhythm.
And Pogba slowly took over in mid-pitch, blending some outrageous scoop passes with incisive through-balls.
Pavard's piledrivers widened the entertainment still further for an enthralled Paris audience.
And finally, France upgraded their comfortable control against an Iceland side who fielded five in defence into sublime superiority.
Giroud stretched to bundle in the killer second goal midway through the half after Halldorsson fumbled another dangerous right-wing centre from Pavard.
That took the Chelsea striker to 35 international goals, behind only Michel Platini's 41 and 51 from Thierry Henry in the two-time world champs' all-time list of marksmen.
And after Giroud had a neat strike rightly ruled out for offside, Mbappe's almost inevitable goal arrived on 78 minutes.
Pogba and the increasingly-influential Griezmann slid raking passes forward for Mbappe to snake into the box and stab home.
Then, last and best, came Griezmann's deft chip finish after Pogba's first-time ball and a Mbappe flick ripped apart both the Iceland defence and midfield.
It was the finale France deserved on a night when their football, like Mbappe over the past year, just got better and better.
