Chelsea fans can’t believe the Blues gave up Olivier Giroud for Romelu Lukaku after the forward scored a brace as France beat Australia 4-1 at the World Cup.

Giroud’s brace against France means he is now France joint-highest goalscorer in history with 51 goals, level with Thierry Henry.

Conn, Twitter: “France’s new all-time top goal scorer. So happy for Giroud man.”

Thehunterforce, Reddit: “Biggest transfer mistake in recent years”

Janty, Twitter: “Giroud is definitely going down as one of the most underrated strikers in football.”

dragonsky, Reddit: “It’s crazy that he is unironically considered a Chelsea legend despite the time he spent in Arsenal. I am so glad he came here, you can’t help but love him. And I think he probably likes us more than Arsenal cause we helped him win trophies”

FinlayCFC, Twitter: “Giroud going down as the greatest French striker ever after beating Henry’s record and leading France to another World Cup triumph”

Axei18, Twitter: “We gave up this man for Lakaka”
