Arsenal super-sub Olivier Giroud equals Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's substitute goals record after rescuing the Gunners from Southampton defeat

Olivier Giroud equalled Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's record for most substitute goals scored for one Premier League club during Arsenal's draw with Southampton on Sunday.

The French striker's 88th-minute header – his 17th league goal from the bench for the Gunners - drew him level with the Manchester United legend as he salvaged a point at St Mary's for Arsene Wenger's side.

His equaliser, in response to Charlie Austin's opener three minutes in, secured a valuable point which saw Arsenal overtake rivals Tottenham into fifth, while Giroud continued to live up to his ever-growing super-sub reputation.
