Former Chelsea and Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud scored 10 minutes from time for Lille as they beat Brann 2-1 in the Europa League. Giroud, who joined from Los Angeles FC in the summer and turns 39 next week, got on the end of a cross from Tiago Santos to get the French side off to a winning start in the competition.

"To overtake him is really great," said Mbappe. "But there's still one person to overtake, I think, so I'm not going to celebrate too much. There's still work to be done."

Giroud signed a one-year deal with Lille after leaving Los Angeles FC, marking his return to Ligue 1 for the first time in 13 years.
