THE BIGGER PICTURE: Giroud became the fourth player to score a brace in the opening round of 2022 World Cup fixtures as the race for the Golden Boot heats up.
WHAT NEXT FOR GIROUD? Well, scoring again, hopefully. He now needs just one more goal to make history as his country’s most prolific marksman of all time.
