Alex Iwobi revealed the Arsenal dressing room was left open-mouthed by Olivier Giroud's 'scorpion kick' volley in the New Year's Day win over Crystal Palace.
The France striker struck a remarkable opening goal as he burst into the Palace box and finished Alexis Sanchez's cross with a back-heeled volley over his head and in off the crossbar.
It bore more than a passing resemblance to Henrikh Mkhitaryan's effort for Manchester United a week earlier and split decisions on social media as to which of the two goals was better.

But Iwobi, who scored the other goal in the 2-0 win with a second-half header, said he and his team-mates were suitably impressed with Giroud's strike.
