Olivier Giroud was compelled to step in between the sticks for AC Milan on Saturday night time after Mike Maignan was proven a purple card.
The French goalkeeper was proven a straight purple automobile in stoppage time after clattering into Genoa participant, Caleb Ekuban, simply outdoors of his penalty space.
Giroud, his worldwide compatriot, was given the unenviable job of getting to fill in as goalkeeper and he didn’t disappoint.
From the ensuing free-kick Genoa hit the crossbar earlier than Giroud made a clinal save within the 104th minute to wrap up all three factors for the Serie A leaders.
