Olivier Giroud scores last-minute winner and is sent off after he "forgot" he was booked

The veteran striker came off the bench to find the back of the net in the 89th minute against Spezia and keep the Rossoneri six points behind Serie A leaders Napoli. The two sides had been level going into the closing minutes after Daniel Maldini - the son of Milan legend Paolo - cancelled out Theo Hernandez's opener.
