Olivier Giroud proves his worth scoring brilliant game-winning header to send Chelsea into the Champions League knockout stages... as Joe Cole claims he is one of the Premier League's 'most underrated players'

Olivier Giroud proved his worth on Tuesday after he came off the bench to score a towering header and win Chelsea's Champions League clash against Rennes.

After starting on the bench, Frank Lampard sent the Frenchman on in place of Tammy Abraham with the aim of getting a second goal for Chelsea.

Following Callum Hudson-Odoi's early opener, Chelsea were pegged back by late equaliser from Sehrou Guirassy, which would have delayed their plans of reaching the knockout stages.
