Olivier Giroud's Heroics Help AC Milan to Victory
French Forward Steps Up in Goal for Rossoneri
Giroud Nets Brace and Assists Another in Salzburg Triumph
Olivier Giroud's versatility was on full display on Saturday as he ended up in goal for AC Milan and made a series of heroic saves to help his team secure a 1-0 victory at Genoa.
The France forward was forced to don the goalkeeper's gloves in the closing stages of the game after Ciprian Tatarusanu was sent off for handling the ball outside the penalty area.
Giroud showed no signs of nerves as he made a string of impressive saves, including one to deny Kevin Agudelo from point-blank range.
His heroics helped Milan hold on to their narrow lead and secure three valuable points in their quest for a top-four finish in Serie A.
In addition to his goalkeeping heroics, Giroud also played a key role in Milan's victory over Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League on Wednesday.
The Frenchman scored twice and created another goal as Milan secured a 4-0 win at the San Siro.
Giroud's performances have been instrumental in Milan's recent resurgence, and he is now one of the most important players in Stefano Pioli's squad.
