This Olivier Giroud goal vs Crystal Palace (GIF VIDEO BELOW) was a stunning goal from the Frenchman, later quoted by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger as one of the “top five goals” in his time with the Gunners. Giroud’s goal v Palace was a great scorpion kick scored on 1 January, 2017- just days after Mkhitaryan scored a similar one, and we get spoilt with two great scorpion kicks in the span of three days. Irony is that Giroud had just missed a sitter from 5 yards out minutes earlier, and then scored this beauty!
