#2 Controversial decision helps Olivier Giroud reach milestone
With BATE looking to stage a comeback in the second half, Arsenal knew they needed to try and close out the game in the early stages of the 45. They were aided in their attempts by the referee, who wasted no time pointing to the spot after spotting an infringement in the penalty box in the 49th minute, something no one else had managed to witness.

Just prior to the decision, Arsenal had received a free-kick which Theo Walcott made a meal of in his attempt to get a hat-trick. However, the man in uniform, Daniel Stefanski, felt that Dragun had caught a piece of Shkodran Mustafi's shirt, resulting in him awarding a soft penalty to the Gunners.
Olivier Giroud stepped up and made no mistake, sending the keeper the wrong way and making it 4-1 to the Gunners. To add to the Frenchman's delight, it turned out to be his 100th goal for the club. What is more interesting is the fact that he is the 12th quickest to the landmark, achieving it in a game fewer than Robin van Persie. Not bad, eh?
