Paul Pogba is finding his scoring touch, heading in a valuable equalizer in France's 2-1 win against Sweden in a World Cup qualifier on Friday. The Manchester United midfielder - the world's most expensive player - headed in off the crossbar in the 58th minute, three minutes after Emil Forsberg had punished a sloppy period of French play with a deflected free kick that wrong-footed goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. France winger Dimitri Payet, who set up Pogba's goal with one of his pinpoint free kicks from the left, also contributed another useful goal.
