Video: Olivier Giroud dispatches two poachers goals against Bulgaria

Olivier Giroud turned fox in the box twice after replacing an injured Karim Benzema in the first half as France won their final Euro 2020 warmup fixture with a 3-0 win against Bulgaria.

With his clinical brace, the Chelsea striker now needs only 5 more goals to equal Thierry Henry’s goal record as the top scorer of the French national team.

It was a routine win for Didier Deschamps’ star-studded side as Les Bleus blew their opponents apart with 70% possession at the Stade de France.

Giroud applied the finishing touches to the game with two goals in 7 minutes when he converted two crosses from Ben Pavard and Wissam Ben Yedder from either flank.
