It followed a rather unsavoury incident minutes before when Cavani appeared to throw a punch at Aaron Ramsey.

That behaviour seemed to upset Giroud who was determined to have a word with the PSG man.

Giroud initially put an arm around Cavani and had a quiet word before the striker snapped back, prompting an angry reaction from the France international.
