Watch: Giroud fires penalty in off the bar to double lead against Empoli

AC Milan doubled their advantage against Empoli just after the half-hour mark as Olivier Giroud converted a penalty kick that was awarded after a VAR check for handball.

In the 32nd minute, Milan were getting ready to take a corner after Loftus-Cheek’s attempted overhead kick deflected behind, but VAR spotted it had brushed the raised hand of Maleh and a penalty was awarded. Giroud took on the responsibility, and found the back of the net via the underside of the bar.
