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.
