Arsenal FC video: Was Olivier Giroud's scorpion kick a fluke? Old footage suggests otherwise!

If you thought Olivier Giroud's wonder strike v Crystal Palace was a fluke, think again.

The 30-year-old has scored in back-to-back games since returning to Arsenal's starting XI in the Premier League, helping Arsene Wenger's side to beat West Brom and Palace.

His recent goal was one of the best you will see this year and footage has emerged showing it is not just a one-off.

The French forward can be seen netting a scorpion kick in similar fashion in training. Giroud shows good feet to beat his marker and his shot rebounds behind him.
