Hernandez on target as Mexico run rings around Evra

Looking excellent

Manchester United's recent acquisition Javier Hernandez scored an excellent goal as Mexico claimed a famous World Cup win over France on Thursday evening. 37-year-old substitute Cuauhtemoc Blanco also scored from the penalty spot as Mexico go within one point of the knock-out stages.

If Mexico and Uruguay draw in their upcoming Group A contest, then 2006 finalists France will be dumped out of the competition.

Despite supposedly boasting some of the biggest names in world football, Raymond Domenech's were outclassed by Mexico on Thursday evening in front of 45,372 fans at the Peter Mokaba Stadium.

United's summer signing Hernandez came off the bench to bag the game's opening goal on 64 minutes. He broke the offside trap, latching onto a through ball and rounding 'keeper Hugo Lloris before drilling the ball home with excellent composure. 

The scoreline was doubled with eleven minutes remaining from the penalty spot. Pablo Barrera showed United full-back Patrice Evra a clean set of heels before being hauled down and the resulting penalty was toe-punted home. 

Former Red Devils defender Laurent Blanc will take charge of France at the end of the World Cup.
