France coach Laurent Blanc reveals that he enjoyed watching his team beat co-hosts Ukraine 2-0 at Euro 2012 on Friday.

France coach Laurent Blanc has admitted that he enjoyed watching his side beat Euro 2012 co-hosts Ukraine 2-0 in Group D on Friday.

Following a lengthy delay due to strong thunderstorms in Kiev, goals from Jeremy Menez and Yohan Cabaye secured Les Bleus their first win of the competition.

"Tonight I really enjoyed watching France play," Blanc told M6 Television.

"We scored two goals and we could have scored a few more. We're progressing. Everything isn't perfect but the players know that we have a potential that just needs further progress.

"Each match is different. Tonight we were better than Ukraine and God knows it wasn't easy because they had a whole stadium behind them."

The French will be looking for a win to reach the quarter-finals when they take on Sweden on Tuesday.
