Giroud fires Lille to victory over Monaco in Ligue 1 | OneFootball

The veteran striker Olivier Giroud scored in stoppage time this Sunday to give Lille a 1-0 victory over visiting Monaco in a match for the French Championship.

At 38 years old, the top scorer in the history of the French national team was signed by Lille partly to replace Jonathan David, who made his Serie A debut with goals for Juventus on Sunday night.

The striker scored 11 minutes into his first match, in Lille's 3-3 draw with Brest in the first round. Sunday's match was much more intense before Giroud opened the scoring in stoppage time of the final stage.

Giroud: how the goal was scored

After receiving the ball from Matias Fernandez-Pardo at the penalty spot, with his back to the goal, the striker turned, deflected to the far post, and with goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky moving in the wrong direction, shot into the net.
