Copenhagen: Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud scored twice in the first six minutes as Euro 2016 hosts France beat Denmark 2-1 in a friendly international on Sunday.
The win was a fourth in succession for Didier Deschamps’ side, although there are stiffer tests ahead for France, who tackle world champions Germany and England in November in their remaining 2015 assignments,
France made eight changes from the team that beat Armenia 4-0 on Friday, but there appeared little disruption early on as they raced into a 2-0 lead inside six minutes.
Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was at fault for Giroud’s opener in the fourth minute and could have done better to prevent the second just two minutes later.
Erik Sviatchenko, with a superb effort, pulled a goal back in stoppage time for the home side.
