VIDEO: Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud scores beautiful goal…in his own net

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 the free kick to anywhere but the goal. But I guess natural instinct kicked in and the ball went into the back of the net.
