Watch: Giroud screamer stuns Swedes

Olivier Giroud, my handsome and perfectly coiffed son, take a bow.

The Arsenal stud handed France a first-half lead over Sweden in Friday's World Cup qualifier in Solna courtesy of a delicious curling effort seconds after the stately striker came back on from banging heads with Andreas Granqvist.

That goal gave Giroud 27 in his France career, level with Karim Benzema for seventh place, and just three short of a pair of Les Bleus legends, Just Fontaine and Jean-Pierre Papin.
