With a magnificent volley from the left, Olivier Giroud offers victory to AC Milan before … being excluded.
Olivier Giroud has again put on his savior costume. On the bench at the start of the match against La Spezia, 16th in the standings, the French striker replaced former Lille Divock Origi at the end of the game (72nd).
Abused during this meeting, AC Milan, yet 3rd in the championship, relied – as often lately – on Olivier Giroud. The striker of the Blues delivers his team with a magnificent recovery with the left foot just before additional time (89th) on a service from Sandro Tonali.
Scorer… then excluded
The little dumpling at the end of the meeting. Driven by his adrenaline, “Oliv'” took off his jersey after his goal to celebrate the victory mark, and logically received a yellow card. What he had forgotten was that he was warned shortly before (83rd). The former gunner therefore received his second yellow, synonymous with expulsion.
The French do everything in this meeting
The Blues in the oven and in the mill against La Spezia. Before Giroud’s saving goal, it was Theo Hernandez who opened the scoring for the Rossonerri (21st). He too will be absent in the next match, after a yellow card received at the end of the game (83rd).
