Olivier Giroud is looking to end up being the second ever Chelsea player in Premier League history to net in 7 successive starts for the club against Everton this weekend.
Olivier Giroud will be looking to equal a Chelsea record of scoring in 7 successive starts when the Blues face off against Everton this weekend.
The 34-year-old has mainly been on the fringes at Stamford Bridge since Frank Lampard‘s arrival, however Giroud has been shooting on all cylinders recently and is delighting in an extended run in the first team.
Giroud started his first top-flight game of the season against Leeds United after scoring 4 against Sevilla in the Champions League, and the France international struck the Blues’ opener because 3-1 win last weekend.
Must Giroud line up from the first whistle and score at Goodison Park on Saturday night, he will end up being only the second Chelsea player in Premier League history to find the back of the net in 7 successive starts – a task accomplished by Mark Stein in between December 1993 and February 1994.
Prior to scoring against Sevilla and Leeds this season, Giroud notched up goals in starts against Crystal Palace, Watford, Norwich City, Liverpool and Wolverhampton Wanderers at the back end of last season.
Lampard’s men currently sit 2 points adrift of early pacesetters Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur ahead of Saturday’s journey to Merseyside.
