Olivier Giroud was undoubtedly Arsenal’s hero against West Bromwich Albion. With the Gunners struggling to break down Baggies manager Tony Pulis’ stubborn defence, the Frenchman rose to send a looping header over the outstanding Ben Foster. The Emirates erupted with relief. However, Giroud’s vital contribution should not be enough for him to keep his place in the side.
Speaking to Arsenal.com about his emotions after the game, Giroud said:
It has been a big relief. We pushed and pushed towards the end, and we kept believing in our game.
