Loic Remy, Andre-Pierre Gignac and Antoine Griezmann get on the scoresheet as France beat Armenia 3-0 in an international friendly.

France eased past Armenia 3-0 in this evening's international friendly in Yerevan.

Didier Deschamps's side, who are not part of Euro 2016 qualifying as they are hosts of the tournament, took the lead inside the first 10 minutes when Chelsea forward Loic Remy slotted home from Andre-Pierre Gignac's pass.

Les Bleus doubled their lead 10 minutes after the break when Gignac, the top scorer in Ligue 1 this season, scored from the penalty spot after Varazdat Haroyan had upended Paul Pogba.

Gignac was again provider for the third goal, playing in Antoine Griezmann to finish from close range.

Bernard Challandes's Armenia are in the five-team Group I and have one point from their opening two Euro 2016 qualifiers.
