The French striker has been clinical with 29 headed goals in the Premier League to be placed second among the active players list.

His 6 ft 4 height and skills has made Giroud a threat during set pieces. On May 6, 2018 he crucially headed in the only goal of the match as Chelsea beat Liverpool 1-0 to keep their slim hopes of Champions League qualification alive.

In a dramatic season-opening match on August 11, 2017, Arsenal came back twice to beat Leicester City 4-3.

After Aaron Ramsey scored an 83rd minute equaliser to make the scores 3-3, Giroud scored his trademark header with five minutes left to play.
