The treble means the centre forward maintains his remarkable scoring streak for the young French side.

He has now netted nine goals in four internationals at under-21 level.

Edouard scored in the 23rd, 35th and 81st minutes of the Uefa European Under-21 Championship qualifier.

France are joint top of Group 2 but have played a game fewer than co-leaders Switzerland.
