EPL 2016/17: Arsenal 1-0 West Bromwich Albion - 5 talking points

The Giroud who (almost) stole Christmas

#2 Olivier Giroud would have been the enemy should Arsenal have dropped points

How did he not tuck this away?

It's incredible how underrated Olivier Giroud is in the Premier League yet when he was tasked with answering those same questions tonight, his best impression was still a little unconvincing.

Giroud headed in the goal towards the end of the game and gave Arsenal the win, no doubt, but his inability to tuck away chances when presented on a platter – citing Lucas Perez’s excellent cross into the box here – will anger Arsenal fans. Even more so now given the delicate situation the club are in the terms of the table.
