Tunisia forward Issam Jemaa twisted his way past defender Jean-Alain Boumsong to put the visitors ahead with a low angled shot 30 minutes into an entertaining game.

France leveled 10 minutes later with a superb goal from Henry, who fired into the top corner from just outside the box after a one-two with playmaker Yoann Gourcuff.

France's record goal scorer Henry was on target again three minutes into the second half, tapping home from close range for his 48th goal in 107 internationals.

Fellow striker Karim Benzema wrapped up the victory with a strike from the edge of the area after 58 minutes following fine work by fullback Rod Fanni, who celebrated his first cap with a stylish performance.

Domenech, under pressure since France's group-stage exit from Euro 2008, will find out after a meeting on Wednesday whether he remains in charge.
