Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says French striker Olivier
Giroud told him he would score before the striker's superb overhead kick
sealed a 1-0 win for Arsenal in the Europa League.
The Gunners travelled to Red Star Belgrade on Thursday and were facing a 0-0 draw against the Serbian side, but after Milan Rodic was sent off the hosts in the 80th minute, Giroud produced an acrobatic finish to seal the win for the Premier League side.

Following the win Wenger revealed that Giroud knew he was
going to find the back of the net. He said “Well
at some stage he came to the touchline and told me he would score," the
manager revealed in his post-match press conference. I don't know [how he knew
but] that's certainly no more than I did, but I think that's Olivier Giroud -
he keeps belief when it's tough and that's why maybe he scores as well at
moments you don't necessarily expect him to score. I believe you win when you
can - you do not decide when. What is remarkable is the spirit we have shown,
fighting together. They defended very well, but the goal is a consequence of us
wanting to play through them.”
