‘If I was Olivier Giroud, I’d be fuming’ – France record breaker cruelly denied spectacular overhead kick a...

Olivier Giroud was denied a superb overhead kick goal in France’s round of 16 clash with Poland.

Quick off the mark, Giroud reacted with a stunning overhead kick that ended up in the back of the net but with Szczesny down and out, the referee blew for a foul on the Juventus shot-stopper despite there being little contact prior to his fall.

It wasn’t a foul, Giroud put the ball in the back of the net and Szczesny collided with Cash and it wasn’t a head injury”.

With France in the ascendancy, another goal for the holders should be enough to see them through to a quarter-final clash with the winner of England vs Senegal on Sunday evening,.
