League-leading Chelsea entertain Arsenal (7:30 a.m. ET, NBC Sports Network) Saturday with a chance to create even more separation at the top of the league table. Of course, Arsenal doesn’t see it that way. The Gunners will be hoping to reel in the front-running Blues a bit with a win at Stamford Bridge. Table watch: […]

During Saturday’s demolition of Sunderland, Arsenal saw Oliver Giroud return to the score sheet for the first time since last season. The Frenchman scored twice in a matter of minutes after coming on in the second half. He has been out injured for nearly a month. Arsenal won 4-1, with Alexis Sanchez scoring the team’s […]

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud opened his account in the 2016-2017 season with a brace just minutes after being subbed on. Arsenal had just surrendered a penalty against Sunderland to draw the two teams level. Arsene Wenger responded by bringing on his French center forward. Giroud, who has been dealing with injuries, hadn’t scored a Premier […]

The tension was building in Paris for nearly an hour as Romania was doing all they could to hold France scoreless in the EURO 2016 opener. It took a brilliant cross from Dimitri Payat to find the head of Olivier Giroud and finally change the mood and start the party in the French capital. Shortly […]

It’s been a tough stretch recently for Arsenal. They’ve taken just 10 of their last 27 points in the league, and have likely fallen out of the title race. Over in the Champions League their situation isn’t looking good either, as they lost 2-0 at home to Barcelona and their only chance of advancing would […]

We went just over a half hour without a goal at Anfield and I guess everyone seemed to be getting antsy. Finally up stepped Olivier Giroud, for the second time today, to put the ball in the back of the net. A stunning finish for his second goal of what has been an absolutely wild […]

It seems as if every time I see Arsenal playing recently, Olivier Giroud is on the scoresheet. The guy with the “meaty French forehead” as Arlo White loves to say has had an eye for the goal in recent games and when Arsenal needed a big win, Giroud provided that with his first ever hat […]

Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud cannot help it that he’s a natural goalscorer. That’s what he gets paid to do and he does it well. This is just one of those times that he probably didn’t want to score. This free kick by Yann M’Vila couldn’t have been placed better for Giroud as he attempted to clear […]

Going off of the first 15 minutes, it would appear to be that Arsenal was going to score first. They had a few chances and Crystal Palace was just getting by with the skin of their teeth. For all their power, Crystal Palace couldn’t keep this goal out of the back of the net. Olivier […]

If at first you don’t succeed, try try again. That’s exactly what Olivier Giroud did to get Arsenal their first goal of the day and put them at 3-2 against Monaco in the UEFA Champions League. Arsenal needs two more goals to advance past Monaco. In this goal, Giroud got his shot blocked by Danijel […]
