AC Milan striker Olivier Giroud explained his fury at the end of their 2-2 draw with Napoli.

Giroud struck twice to send Milan 2-0 ahead before Napoli's fight-back.

“On a personal level, I am happy for the two goals and grateful for the two great crosses from my teammates," Giroud told Sky Italia.

“However, I am disappointed with the result. We had the opportunity to win the game and created so many chances, but were unable to put the game to bed.

“We created so many chances against Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund, but were not clinical enough. Today we could've had four or five goals.

“Napoli reacted after our great first half. We knew it would be tougher after the break and their confidence was revitalised by their first goal, but we still could've done better.

“The atmosphere in the stadium pushed them on too, that goal was the turning point of the game. I feel angry and frustrated, especially because I saw Inter win before our match and I hope these two dropped points won't come back to haunt us later on."

On refusing coach Stefano Pioli's hand after being substituted, Giroud also said: “I am only human, I am not a robot. I felt disappointed because I was convinced I could help my teammates, that I still had energy left and wanted to stay on.

“Of course, after five minutes I calmed down and apologised to the coach. I respect his decisions and I just want what is best for the team. I was frustrated because we should've won this game."
