'They call me the phoenix from Grenoble': Olivier Giroud lives up to his France nickname as Chelsea striker comes off the bench to score twice in final Euro 2020 warm-up game after Karim Benzema went off injured

Olivier Giroud proved he can still play a key role for France at this summer's Euros after coming off the bench to score twice in their final warm-up game with Bulgaira.

Giroud netted twice in the final 10 minutes to give Didier Deschamps' side a 3-0 victory over Bulgaria after Antoine Griezmann opened the scoring in the 29th minute.

The Chelsea striker replaced Karim Benzema, who hobbled off with an injury just before half-time, and gave his manager a timely reminder of what he can bring to the team.
