Giroud headed home after just three minutes from right winger Kingsley Coman's cross to notch a record-extending 54th goal for World Cup runner-up France.

After forward Antoine Griezmann went close with a low shot, Mbappé slotted in a penalty in first-half injury time to make it 2-0 at the 30,000-capacity Estádio Algarve in Faro, and reach 39 goals for Les Bleus.

It put Mbappé just two behind fellow great Michel Platini, who is fourth on France's all-time scoring list.

A second-half own goal from Gibraltar made it 3-0.
