within the space of a few days
- a situation that the
Frenchman described as "crazy"
Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud jested that his scorpion
kick goal was better than Henrikh Mkhitaryan's
effort for Manchester Unitted.
Giroud scored a stunning effort against Crystal
Palace on Incipient Year's Day, flicking out his left boot
and sending the ball over goalkeeper Wayne
Hennessey in off the crossbar.
Mkhitaryan scored in similarly astonishing fashion
at home to Sunderland less than a week prior and
his effort visually perceived him claim Goal of the Month for
December.
However, Giroud believes his was the pick of the
pair. "Actually, they were teasing me, saying that the
Mkhitaryan one was better!" he said in a Q&A video
with Sky's 'Soccer AM'.
"It's crazy that two similar goals were scored in
one week. I don't know if I got inspired, it's destiny.
"He did very well as well, but I think mine is better!
But to be serious it was funny in the dressing room,
we were all surprised by what happened."
