Olivier Giroud Sitting Down Southampton's Entire Defence Before Scoring Goes Viral, We Can't Explain The Sorcery

He made everyone eat their words and perhaps his finest Chelsea moment came at Wembley in April of his debut campaign.

Chelsea took on Southampton for the chance to face Manchester United in the FA Cup final and the scores were 0-0 after an even first half.

One minute into the restart, Antonio Conte's side were ahead and it's all thanks to Giroud.

Eden Hazard laid the ball off to the France international and he managed to jink past the Saints' backline, who flung themselves at him from all angles.

Maya Yoshida had a nibble before Cedric Soares stuck out a leg to get any touch on the ball, as Mario Lemina lunged from behind.

As Cedric lost balance, he fell into the path of Jan Bednarek who tripped over his full-back and goalkeeper Fraser Forster.

Giroud kept control and balance throughout all this, prodding the ball into an open net. He wheeled away in celebration while pointing at Hazard, but it's clear which man put the most work in.

It's worth watching in real time as well. Check it out below.

One fan commented: "This is beyond genius. What a player."

Another put: "If this is anybody else, they’re like Puskas award!"

While a third said: "I'd never seen this before, but it's got to be an all-time."

Chelsea won the game 2-0 after Cesar Azpilicueta doubled their lead and they'd go on to win the competition, defeating United 1-0 in the final.

Giroud left the Blues in 2021 after winning the Champions League and joined AC Milan.
