Olivier Giroud enjoys meal out with fellow London 'Frenchies' as Arsenal striker prepares to take on Burnley

When he's not busy scoring sensational goals, Olivier Giroud is just like the rest of us.

The Arsenal striker - whose stunning scorpion kick against Crystal Palace earlier this month is already a goal of the season contender - spent some recent downtime going out for a meal with his mates.

His mates, however, just so happen to have 69 international caps for France between them. And two of them were on the opposite side when he defied physics to open the scoring against Palace on January 1.
