Euro 2016: Griezmann Spares France’s Blushes

images (7)

Antoine Griezmann’s brace spared France a round of 16 exit at the Euro 2016 tournament.

Ireland took a very early lead when Paul Pogba gave away a clumsy penalty.

Throughout the first half and in the early minutes of the second half, it looked like the Irish might just escape with the narrow win.

Eventually, Griezmann spoilt the party with a beautiful header to draw matters level. He completed his brace with a calmly taken finish after a pass from Giroud.

The Irish gave a good account of themselves at the Euro 2016 and will probably not be too sore at their exit.
