Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger praised Olivier
Giroud for his world class finish in the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace. Giroud scored a scorpion-like goal in the first
half at the Emirates, flicking the ball into the top corner with his backheel
after Alexis Sanchez's cross was
directed slightly behind him.
Wenger said
the reflex was fantastic, and says the goal is part of what makes football
great. He said “It was a great counter
attack at great speed, and in fact the ball was kicked behind him and he had
that reflex that surprises everybody who knows football and is what makes
football great. It's a surprise, of course a fantastic goal. I was a bit spoilt
over the year by that exceptional quality that everybody had. It's a reflex,
and I think all of us can score this kind of goal, at the moment you have the
strength, power and mental reflex. Olivier is very good in front of goal on
crosses, but I've never seen this type of goal from him.”
Wenger was
delighted with how Arsenal controlled the game at the Emirates, and said his
side need to keep performing with Chelsea
winning their last 13 games and holding a six-point gap at the top of the
Premier League.
