Chelsea boss Conte delighted with 2-goal Giroud: He deserves it

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was delighted with two-goal Olivier Giroud after their 3-2 win at Southampton.

Giroud came off the bench to inspire Chelsea from 2-0 down.

Conte remarked: "I am very happy for Olivier. He scored but we changed something in the second half and the difference was the approach, the spirit and the will to fight and try not to lose another game.

"We have two strikers and Olivier arrived at Chelsea in January after a bad muscular problem. Now he has good fitness and I try to make the best decisions for the game. Alvaro Morata scored against Leicester and Tottenham.

"I have two good strikers and I try to make the best decision at the start or during the game. We must be happy we scored three times."
