Giroud overtakes Platini in France scoring charts on 100th cap as Camavinga marks historic appearance with bicycle kick

Olivier Giroud surpassed Michel Platini as the second-highest scorer in France history with a double to take down Ukraine in Wednesday's friendly clash.

The Chelsea star went into the game on 40 goals, one behind the France and Juventus great. Now only Thierry Henry stands in front of Giroud, who scored twice in the first half against the eastern Europeans to leapfrog Platini in the standings.

Eduardo Camavinga got Didier Deschamps' charges off to a perfect start with a goal after just nine minutes, by way of a wonderfully executed overhead kick.
