Arsenal's Oliver Giroud booed off the pitch by own fans

Olivier Giroud was booed by French fans after a disappointing display against Serbia on Monday night - which eventually saw him replaced by Karim Benzema.

The Arsenal striker was handed a lone role up front by Didier Deschamps but missed a number of good chances during the 2-1 win in Bourdeaux.

And the home supporters were less than happy with his display, jeering and whistling as he went off for half-time and when he was substituted.

Giroud has struggled to find his best form this season in the Premier League, for an Arsenal side that will be relying on him in Danny Welbeck's absence.

He has scored once this season, against Crystal Palace, and was hooked after an hour against Serbia by Deschamps.

Pressure is mounting on him ahead of Euro 2016 in his home country next summer. 

Manchester United new boy Anthony Martial is one of his rivals, along with summer Arsenal target Benzema.

A brace from PSG midfielder Blaise Matuidi gave France the win in the friendly, while Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic netted for the visitors.
