AC MILAN defender Theo Hernandez debuted a bold new haircut on Friday night… before assisting Olivier Giroud’s winning goal.
Stefano Pioli’s men went into their clash with Torino outside Serie A’s top four following a derby day defeat to Inter Milan.
And for more than an hour they failed to break down the visitors’ stubborn defence in front of a frustrated San Siro crowd.
But in the 62nd minute they eventually found a way through thanks to Hernandez and Giroud.
Giroud scored a brilliant header for France in their 2-1 quarter-final win over England.
And he produced a similar piece of quality against Torino as Hernandez’s cross from the left-hand side was met by Giroud’s textbook aerial threat.

Hernandez, who was donning a bleach blonde look with a smiley face on the back of his head, went over to celebrate with the former Arsenal and Chelsea man.
And Giroud was clearly grateful for his countryman’s excellent delivery as they embraced in front of the rapturous Milan faithful.
France’s record scorer now has 11 goals this season as Pioli’s side move up to third in the table.
They are now just two points adrift of Inter, but a huge 15 behind runaway leaders Napoli.
