France's Kylian Mbappe became the youngest player to score in the World Cup final since Pele did so in 1958 with a second-half goal in the 4-2 win over Croatia on Sunday.

Mbappe, 19, scored his fourth goal of the World Cup in the 65th minute, collecting a pass from Lucas Hernandez and shooting right-footed from 25 yards around Croatia defender Domagoj Vida and past goalkeeper Danijel Subasic.

Pele, who remains the youngest player to appear in a World Cup final, was 17 when he scored two goals in the 5-2 victory over hosts Sweden.

The Brazil legend tweeted his congratulations to Mbappe after the PSG star became just the second teenager to score in a final.

Earlier in the tournament, Mbappe scored twice in the 4-3 victory over Argentina in the round of 16 and the only goal in the 1-0 group-stage victory over Peru.

The Paris Saint-Germain star was rewarded with the award as the tournament's Best Young Player after Sunday's game.
