Arsene Wenger hails Olivier Giroud's scorpion kick as the greatest goal he has ever seen at the Emirates Stadium

Arsene Wenger hailed Olivier Giroud's sensational scorpion kick as the greatest Arsenal goal he has seen at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners boss declared it a work of art to rival Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry's best strikes for the club after Arsenal saw off Crystal Palace with a goal on New Year's Day that may not be bettered in 2017.

The audacious piece of skill came six days after Henrikh Mkhitaryan's similar goal for Manchester United.
