AC Milan signing Olivier Giroud scores on debut - with first touch!

AC Milan signing Olivier Giroud has scored a goal with his first touch as he scored an equaliser during a friendly away to OGC Nice.

The former Chelsea striker was making his debut on French soil on Saturday.

Giroud came off the bench at the 61st minute and was celebrating four minutes later, scoring with a header from a Samu Castillejo free kick.

It was the ideal start to this new chapter of the France international's career.

Milan prised him away from Chelsea for €1m plus up to another €1m in bonuses last week.
