French striker Olivier Giroud became the all-time leading goalscorer for Les Bleus, as he surpassed the mark of Thierry Henry in the defending champions' 3-1 victory over Poland.

Poland manager Czesaw Michniewicz knew exactly what type of player had just destroyed his side as he heaped praise on the 23-year-old Frenchman.
