Mesut Ozil sends message to former Arsenal teammate Olivier Giroud after breaking record

Mesut Ozil was delighted to see his former Arsenal teammate Olivier Giroud score for France at the World Cup on Sunday afternoon.

Giroud netted France’s opening goal in their 3-1 win over Poland to help the defending champions reach the quarter-finals of the tournament in Qatar. The veteran striker collected a pass from Kylian Mbappe before finding the bottom corner.

It was Giroud’s 52nd goal in his 117th appearance for Les Bleus – a tally which makes him France’s all-time record goal scorer. He overtook France legend Thierry Henry in the history books – a wonderful achievement which prompted a message from Ozil on Twitter.
