SAINT-DENIS, France -- Paul Pogba is finding his scoring touch, heading in a valuable equalizer in Frances 2-1 win against Sweden in a World Cup qualifier on Friday.The Manchester United midfielder -- the worlds 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 swerving free kick that wrong-footed goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.France winger Dimitri Payet, who set up Pogbas goal with one of his pinpoint free kicks from the left, slotted home the winner in the 65th, after a handling error from goalkeeper Robin Olsen under pressure from forward Antoine Griezmann.France coach Didier Deschamps conceded that Griezmann was fractionally offside when he went to challenge for the ball.But some decisions went against us, too, and there was a foul on (Laurent) Koscielny not given before Swedens goal, Deschamps said.Payet rescued France at this summers European Championship, scoring a last-minute winner in the opening group game as Les Bleus went on to reach the final.Both Payet and Pogba netted the eighth international goal of their careers, but Pogbas strike came just as Sweden threatened a victory that would have thrown Group A wide open. Instead, France leads with 10 points, three more than second-placed Sweden and six more than the Netherlands. The Dutch play in Luxembourg on Sunday.Its not decisive yet, but its an important result for us, Deschamps said. We could have done better, but thats also down to Sweden making things difficult for us. They were athletic and good on set pieces.After an inconsistent start to the season, following his record-breaking transfer of 105 million euros ($116 million) from Italian champion Juventus, Pogba is getting closer to his best form.Last weekend, he scored with a superb 20-meter (yard) volley for United against Swansea in the Premier League.In Frances previous qualifier, he struck the winner in a 1-0 win against the Netherlands with a rasping 30-meter strike.Between those games, he netted twice for United in a 4-1 win against Fenerbahce in the Europa League, one of the goals a fine curler from outside the area.I know he likes to score, and thats good for him, but its not specifically what I expect from him. Im happier with his overall performance, which was in line with what he did against Holland, Deschamps said. He plays differently for United in a different system. He won a lot of possession for us and when hes playing at that level, in tandem with Blaise Matuidi in midfield, hes very important.But France needed his goal on a bitterly cold night because strikers Olivier Giroud -- starting in attack ahead of Kevin Gameiro -- and Griezmann squandered chances.The first chance of the game fell to the Swedes early on when France center half Raphael Varane had to hack away a dangerous cross.Payet then had an effort saved by Olsen, but the rest of Frances shooting was from long range and wayward.This left France left vulnerable to a sucker punch and it almost came when burly striker Ola Toivonens goal-bound effort was expertly blocked by Koscielny as he slid on the ground.Were proud of our performance, said Sweden coach Janne Andersson, who was unhappy that Griezmann was not given offside in the build-up to Frances winner. We deserved much better, but we need to create more scoring chances.Giroud headed over early in the second half and Pogbas shot from just outside the area was blocked.Sweden made the French pay, but it spurred Pogba into action.Andersson, however, was not impressed.I dont have an opinion, he said, when asked if Pogba was getting back to his best. I dont watch what other teams do. I watch my own players.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- A.J. Hawks passion for working out could have him in position to make a quick impact with the Atlanta Falcons, who badly need help at linebacker.Hawk said he never stopped working out after being released by Cincinnati in April and would have continued his routine even if there was no chance of extending his career.I never really stopped doing anything, Hawk said. Whether or not a team called, I was going to be ready. I enjoy working out.The Falcons signed Hawk, 32, on Tuesday. The team hopes he can draw upon his 10 years in the NFL, including nine with Green Bay, and be ready to play in Sundays game at Denver.Thats a short time to pick up a defensive scheme. Hawk insisted its not an unrealistic request.Why not? Hawk asked Thursday before his second practice with the team. Everyone here is a football player. Its what we do. Its what Ive done since I was in the second grade.Hawk said Atlanta has a good scheme to learn quickly.The great thing they do here, especially defensively, is they dont over-complicate things, he said. They have their defense and they try to perfect it. They tweak things here and there and make sure theyre doing the right things, playing fast and playing hard. I respect that. I think thats the best thing about this whole team.The Falcons need help at linebacker following a spree of injuries.Atlanta veteran Sean Weatherspoon was placed on injured reserve with an Achilles tendon injury he suffered in last weeks win over Carolina. Rookie starter Deion Jones left the game with an ankle injury.Another rookie, DeVondre Campbell, was held out last week with an ankle injury. Paul Worrilow, a former starter who had been playing behind Jones, also missed the game with a groin injury.Coach Dan Quinn said Hawk is looking like a good fit.ddddddddddddWe were very pleased on his first day, Quinn said before Thursdays practice, adding that Hawks understanding of the Falcons coverages totally came across.Its not going to be an extensive package for him. We want to make sure that the things he does know he can really fly and let his football playing ability take over as opposed to too many checks.Jones, Campbell, 2015 first-round pick Vic Beasley Jr., a linebacker-defensive end, and 2016 first-rounder Keanu Neal, a safety, have provided more speed and athleticism to the defense. The high-scoring offense has earned the headlines as the Falcons (3-1) have taken the NFC South lead. Quinn is counting on more big plays from the defense in the future.Hawk said he had been following the Falcons from his home in Columbus, Ohio, even before he was called this week.I definitely knew I wouldnt have left Ohio for a team that looked like they werent going to win or wasnt on a winning path, he said. I had only heard great things about Atlanta, even before they started out 3-1. It just turned out that I was lucky they were the one that called.LaRoy Reynolds likely would start at weakside linebacker if Jones and Worrilow cant play. Philip Wheeler is the backup for Campbell.Campbell, Jones and Worrilow were held out on Wednesday and Thursday.The Falcons initially said Jones had a calf injury. Quinn said the pain moved around a little to Jones ankle.Quinn said the new description of the injury is not more of a concern.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
