Scorer and decisive passer on Saturday, Olivier Giroud continues to panic the statistics.
Olivier Giroud has obviously digested his missed penalty well against Bologna. This is evidenced by his performance delivered on the Frosinone lawn on Sunday. Because if AC Milan overcame its host, it owes it largely to its French striker, once again established at the forefront of the Milanese attack.
After opening the score a quarter of an hour into the game, the former Gunner turned into a decisive passer, allowing Matteo Gabia to equalize at the start of the last quarter of an hour while Frosinone had taken control of the encounter. And if it was ultimately Luka Jovic who scored the winning goal, the performance of the native of Chambéry impressed in Italy.
In a very closed circle
And thanks to this match, Olivier Giroud also took care of his statistics. Author of his 11e goal of the season, the world champion has thus consolidated his place on the podium of the best scorers in Serie A. A good distance from Lautaro Martinez (19 goals), he is only one unit behind Dusan Vlahovic (12 goals ). The Frenchman has also established his position as the best passer in the championship, his eight offerings distributed since the start of the season allowing him to be ahead of Marcus Thuram.
With 11 goals and 8 assists, Olivier Giroud is also the most decisive player in Serie A. He also belongs to a very closed circle in Europe. Among the five major championships, there are only four players to post more than eight goals and eight assists this season in the league, according to Opta. He is accompanied by Mohamed Salah (14 goals, 8 assists), Leroy Sané (8 goals, 11 assists), and Ollie Watkins (11 goals, 10 assists),
