The 34-year-old Frenchman became the oldest player to score a hat-trick in the Champions League as he netted four times against Sevilla on Wednesday
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard argued last week that veteran striker Olivier Giroud is “getting better with age”.
The Frenchman proved his point with a stunning performance at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Wednesday night.
The 34-year-old became the oldest player in Champions League history to score a hat-trick before then converting a penalty, which he had won himself, to put the seal on a sensational 4-0 win that sealed top spot in Group E for the Blues.
