- Holding - I'm over the moon with that goal

History: Olivier Giroud joins some illustrious company
"Yes, I’m very proud of that," Giroud said. "It’s been a few weeks.
"To be honest with you I was expecting this goal, but sometimes you shoot without looking at the goal and it goes in, while sometimes you are struggling a little more with bad luck or misfortune.
"I’m glad and I’m happy for myself and hopefully more will come."
