It was indeed a ‘big relief’ for Olivier Giroud who has made it a habit of scoring late goals. Giroud scored the all-important winner against West Bromwich Albion to give Arsenal a crucial win.
Giroud meet Mesut Ozil’s cross with a looping header which later proved to be the winner. After back to back defeats, the win could be the much-needed momentum which Wenger was searching. The win left Arsenal nine points behind Chelsea who won against Bournemouth. It leveled them with Liverpool who will entertain Stoke City tonight.
Giroud said, “It has been a big relief. We pushed and pushed towards the end, and we kept believing in our game. It’s a big finish, an amazing feeling. It’s nice for us because we always try to find a good solution and we’ve been a bit unlucky recently. Thank God we succeeded.
“At home you have to win, even more after two disappointing results. It was a very important game for us and we really wanted, we really needed, the three points.
“It’s job done today but it was very hard. We were playing against six at the back, three in midfield and then one up top, but we never gave up. It was a great feeling to score and a big relief too.”
