MORE Yohan Cabaye is a French international footballer who plays for English club Newcastle United in the Premier League and the French national team.

FATV Exclusive Tunnel cam, another FATV first. FATV's tunnel cam gives you never before seen access to the back rooms at Wembley, and stadiums around the world. Benzema and Valbuena goals enough for French victory. A goal in either half sent England to their first defeat of the season and give France a well-earned victory on their first visit to Wembley. Peter Crouch's late consolation with his first touch of the game was not enough for Capello's men who came back well after being outplayed for much of the first hour. Strikes from Karim Benzema and Mathieu Valbuena gave the French a two-goal advantage with 55 minutes played and from there it was always tough for a young England side, fielding three new faces, to come back for a draw. The French squad at Wembley consisted of 4 players used to the high pressure of the Premier League. They were Arsenal's right-back Bacary Sagna, left-back Gael Clichy, midfielder Samir Nasri, along with Chelsea forward Florent Malouda. France and England last met just two years ago, but of the 22 players that started that match only five have the chance to play at Wembley - Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard, Gareth Barry, Eric Abidal and Florent Malouda. England were the favourites to win the game with the bookies largely due to home advantage, but of the two inexperienced teams the French have played together more. England Squad Coach: Fabio Capello Ben Foster (Birmingham City), Robert Green (West Ham), Joe Hart (Manchester City); Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Rio Ferdinand (Manchester United), Kieran Gibbs (Arsenal), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Joleon Lescott (Manchester City), Micah Richards (Manchester City), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), John Terry (Chelsea); Gareth Barry (Manchester City), Steven Gerrard (Liverpool), Jordan Henderson (Sunderland), Adam Johnson (Manchester City) , James Milner (Manchester City), Theo Walcott (Arsenal), Jack Wilshere (Arsenal), Ashley Young (Aston Villa); Gabriel Agbonlahor (Aston Villa), Jay Bothroyd, Andy Carroll, Peter Crouch (Tottenham Hotspur). France squad Coach: Laurent Blanc Cedric Carrasso (Bordeaux), Hugo Lloris (Olympique Lyon), Steve Mandanda (Olympique Marseille Anthony Reveillere (Olympique Lyon), Gael Clichy (Arsenal), Philippe Mexes (AS Roma), Adil Rami (Lille), Mamadou Sakho (Paris St Germain), Bacary Sagna (Arsenal), Eric Abidal (Barcelona) Alou Diarra (Bordeaux), Yohan Cabaye (Lille), Yoann Gourcuff (Lyon), Yann Mvila (Stade Rennes), Samir Nasri (Arsenal) K...
