Converts penalty to salvage draw
Giroud scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brest.
Analysis: Giroud scored once from two shots, putting both on target, across the full 90 minutes in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Brest. He nearly scored in the ninth minute when a defender cleared his header following Dilane Bakwa's cross, before eventually equalizing from the penalty spot in the 64th minute after Ethan Mbappe was fouled inside the area. Giroud's powerful penalty struck the underside of the crossbar before crossing the line, securing a point for Lille after the hosts had trailed since the opening six minutes. Giroud has now two goals and two assists in seven Ligue 1 appearances this season.
Cleared for season opener
Giroud (knee) is available for Saturday's season opener against Angers, according to coach Davide Ancelotti.
Analysis: Giroud had left the friendly against Everton with a knee issue, but tests afterward came back clean and he returned to training soon after, all pointing toward this outcome. He's now expected to lead the line for Lille right from the start of the campaign, giving manager Davide Ancelotti his preferred striker option as the club opens its season.
