Dembélé Joins Elite Company with Fontaine and Mbappé

French international Ousmane Dembélé netted a hat-trick in France's 4-1 victory over Norway in the third round of Group I at the World Cup. In doing so, he emulated the achievements of Just Fontaine and Kylian Mbappé, who also scored three goals for Les Bleus in World Cup matches.

In 1958, Just Fontaine famously scored a hat-trick against Paraguay and an incredible four goals in a match against Germany. Kylian Mbappé, meanwhile, registered a hat-trick in the 2022 World Cup final against Argentina.
