France retook the lead over Croatia in the World Cup final with a controversial VAR penalty from Antoine Griezmann.

Ivan Perisic, who had equalised just moments earlier for Croatia, was penalised for handball after a lengthy VAR review, and Griezmann slotted the spot-kick into the corner to put France 2-1 ahead.
