The Manchester United midfielder’s dad passed away in May 2017, and would have turned 80 on Tuesday.
Following his goal, Pogba lifted up his jersey to reveal a message in French that translates as “Happy Birthday, Dad. May Allah have mercy on him”.
He later added on Twitter: “Happy birthday Dad, merci for watching over me and my brothers @equipedefrance great win team!”
Pogba, whose form at Old Trafford has faced severe scrutiny of late, scored and assisted a goal in an international match for the first time, with Kylian Mbappe scoring twice at Krestovsky Stadium.
