Olivier Giroud Scores Four Goals Against Under-19 Team

Some of France's Euro squad participated in a friendly against a local youth side, one player who featured was Olivier Giroud as he netted four times.

France topped Group A despite an underwhelming performance against Switzerland, though safely progressed to the knock-out stages awaiting their next opponents. In the meantime, Les Bleus boss Didier Deschamps organised a friendly versus Paris FC, in order to keep his players match fit ahead of the all important Last 16 tie.

Like Roy Hodgson (under different circumstances), Deschamps rested key individuals for their final group game, the squad members who were either not featured or brought on late were the players selected for this run out.

A team boasting immense Premier League experience in Anthony Martial, Dmitri Payet - who was also on the score sheet by scoring his wondergoal - and Olivier Giroud among others, unsurprisingly thrashed the youth side 7-0. The Arsenal man, who has been under criticism from his own set of fans, found the back of the net four times. Check out the highlights below:

The host nation are set to take on a third place side in the first round of the knock-out stages on Sunday afternoon.
