5 things we learned from Swansea v Arsenal

We can trust Giroud

Arsenal’s French target man yet again scored the goal to get his side off the mark and go on to annihilate Swansea on their own patch. His goal at the Liberty was the thirty year old’s eleventh goal, in his last nine starts.

Oliver Giroud is often criticised for not being a striker who can lead Arsenal to a Premier League title, but maybe its time to believe he can. Not only does the centre-forward score goals, the Frenchman holds-up the ball brilliantly for his teammates, as well as getting his fair share of assists.
