Olivier Giroud held off Gareth McAuley, directed his header past Ben Foster… and we had a happy ending on Boxing Day.
The France striker spoke shortly after his vital intervention against West Bromwich Albion. This is what he said:
on how good it was to get the winner…
It has been a big relief. We pushed and pushed towards the end, and we kept believing in our game. It’s a big finish, an amazing feeling. It’s nice for us because we always try to find a good solution and we’ve been a bit unlucky recently.
