On Sunday, Aston Villa defender Lucas Digne contributed to three goals during his 50th international appearance for France, as the team defeated Italy 3-1 to secure the top position in their Nations League group. The left-back, who has demonstrated strong performance for Unai Emery’s squad this season, earned a starting position for the international match over AC Milan’s Theo Hernandez. Les Blues established an early advantage in the second minute when Marseille midfielder Adrien Rabiot scored with a header following a corner kick delivered by Digne. Subsequently, Digne extended France’s lead with a free-kick that struck the crossbar of Tottenham and Italy goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario before deflecting into the net off his back. Italy managed to reduce the deficit with a goal from Andrea Cambiaso, but Digne and Rabiot collaborated again in the 65th minute to finalize France’s victory.
