Arsenal FC news: Arsene Wenger hails Olivier Giroud goal against Crystal Palace

Arsene Wenger says Olivier Giroud's goal in the 2-0 win against Crystal Palace is among the best scored by an Arsenal player during his time as manager of the club.

Meeting Alexis Sanchez's 17th-minute cross with a masterful scorpion kick which gave them the lead, Giroud's stylish strike may prove to be the goal of the season.

"He transformed that goal into art," said Wenger.

"Art, because of the surprise, because of the beauty of the movement; the efficiency of the movement.

"That will be remembered as the Giroud goal that nobody will forget.
