Twitter reacts to Arsenal's Giroud snatching a late winner against West Brom

Arsenal pulled off a crucial 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion thanks to Olivier Giroud, with the Frenchman netting a late winner for the hosts after Tony Pulis’ side kept out Arsene Wenger’s charges for most of the game. The result leaves Arsenal in 3^rd, although Manchester City’s game against Hull City is still underway.

With most of the game being rather frustrating for Arsenal fans, it was no surprise to see the knives out.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to the game

Things were not going well for Arsenal from the start, with West Brom frustrating the Gunners in typical Pulis style..

Time to add Ben Foster to the list of goalkeepers who turn into prime Neuer whenever they play against us #AFC

It took Arsenal 86 minutes to play an accurate ball to Giroud's head. A severely needed 3 points but we've still been god awful.

There were those Ozil supporters who also took the time to gloat after he provided the assist for Giroud

No matter how bad they have played World class players step up and make the difference. Mesut Özil did that today.
