France striker Olivier Giroud has made history with his strike against Poland in the World Cup last 16.
By scoring his 52nd international goal to put his side ahead at the end of the first half, the AC Milan forward broke a record that stood for 13 years, surpassing Arsenal icon Thierry Henry as France's all-time leading goalscorer. Henry's last strike for France came back in October 2009, when he scored a penalty in a 3-1 win in a World Cup 2010 qualifier with Austria.
Giroud had already bagged twice in this tournament with his brace against Australia, which made his tally 51 goals - tied with fellow World Cup winner Henry. Now, he is a history maker after adding to that tally in the clash with Poland on Sunday.
