Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud delighted with France brace

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is happy to be back amongst the goals for France.

The striker was included in Didier Deschamps' starting line up for the trip to Denmark on Sunday night and repaid his manager's faith with a well taken brace in Les Bleus' 2-1 victory.

"We made a very good start to the game, all together.

"It was important for me to make a good game tonight, to be decisive," he insisted.

"There were some very good things in the first half, even the second, but [we] failed to drive the point and in the end we conceded this goal late in the game.

"This is a small problem, but we will retain that fourth straight victory, which had not happened for three years."
