Ex Arsenal player AC Milan striker, Giroud goes in goal after double red card for goalkeepers

AC Milan striker, Olivier Giroud was forced to go into goal against Genoa on Saturday.

This followed a double sending off for two goalkeepers in the team.

Mike Maignan saw red for kneeing Caleb Ekuban during a challenge in the 97th minute.

Six minutes later, Genoa goalkeeper Josep Martinez was given the marching order for charging at Fikayo Tomori while trying to score the equaliser from a corner kick.

Giroud then made a late save to secure three points for his side as he came out of his line to fist the ball away from George Puscas who came charging towards the Milan goal.

Former Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic had earlier scored the only goal of the match in the 87th minute which helped Milan clinch a crucial win and climb up to the top of the Serie A table with 21 points from eight games.
