Giroud’s intercepted back pass leads to a goal as Strasbourg beats Lille

PARIS (AP) — Olivier Giroud’s mistake gifted Emmanuel Emegha his second goal as Strasbourg won 2-0 at home to Lille to move provisionally up to fourth place in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Lyon has a chance to move into fourth spot with a home win against injury-hit Paris Saint-Germain later Sunday.

Giroud is France’s all-time leading scorer with 57 goals and won the World Cup, the Champions League with Chelsea and Serie A with AC Milan in a highly successful career.

But despite his vast experience, he made a poor mistake as he passed the ball back from midfield without looking up and failed to spot Emegha nearby.
