(Video): Liverpool target captured in video poking Chelsea star’s eye at World Cup

Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud was introduced in the second half of France’s 2-1 win over Australia in their opening World Cup game in Group B but was soon slapped in the eye by Liverpool target Nabil Fekir.

Paul Pogba’s shot was deflected into the post in the final few minutes to the blast of the final whistle to secure the points for Didier Descahmps men, but in celebration, Fekir was seen unintentionally poking Giroud’s eye.

France fan at the World Cup, Berube on Twitter posted the video on Saturday.
