The numbers tell you that Olivier Giroud is perhaps the Premier League's most in-form marksman. Six goals from his last six starts in the top-flight, first name on the team-sheet, surely?
The problem for the 34-year-old is that, before his strike here, his previous five starts had come in July, during the days of Project Restart.
Since then it has been Project No-Start for the World Cup winner, manager Frank Lampard preferring his younger models in attack.
Giroud likened his exile to 'facing the wall' when interviewed ahead of this game.
