Better every year: Giroud sets incredible Europa League record

At the start of the Europa League, veteran Olivier Giroud headed in a late goal for OSC Lille, securing a 2-1 home victory against the Norwegian side Brann Bergen.

In doing so, the Frenchman set a new record. At 38 years and 360 days old, he is the oldest substitute in Europa League history to score a goal.
