| Dimitri Payet celebrates his winning goal |
Paul Pogba and Dimitri Payet were on target as France marked the first anniversary of the Paris attacks with victory over Sweden in a World Cup qualifier at Stade de France.
A minute's silence was observed before kick-off to remember the 130 victims of the attacks on 13 November 2015.
Emil Forsberg's free-kick put Sweden ahead in the second half but Manchester United's Pogba quickly equalised.
Payet's 65th-minute winner moved France three points clear in Group A.
The West Ham midfielder had earlier set up the equaliser for Pogba, the world's most expensive player nodding home his team-mate's precise free-kick.
Payet capped a bright performance with the decisive goal, turning the ball in from close range after Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen fumbled.
