Olivier Giroud challenge earns him a red card (Video)

Already a goal down in Croatia, Olivier Giroud complicated matters for Arsene Wenger.

Having earlier picked up a yellow card for dissent, Giroud’s challenge on a Dinamo Zagreb player was deemed worthy of another one, meaning a red soon followed.

Having watched it a couple of times, we’re not convinced it’s a foul worthy of a booking – but the theatrical rolling around of the Zagreb defender certainly helps the referee makes his mind up.
