Beautiful Man Olivier Giroud Scores Beautiful Goal

Olivier Giroud gave Arsenal a (brief) 1-0 lead with a wonderful finish on a great team goal.

Arsenal took an early lead over Crystal Palace today at Selhurst Park thanks to a wonderful goal from Olivier Giroud. The run started with Alexis Sanchez splitting off Mesut Ozil wide down the near side and Ozil did not waste any time. He stepped right into Sanchez's pass and fired a cross back in front of the goal. It barely missed Sanchez's head and made it's way to Giroud, who then twisted his body for a crafty little scissor kick and hit it past keeper Alex McCarthy. It was a great finish to a great team goal.

Crystal Palace evened things up in the 28th minute with a worm-burning goal from Joel Ward and it looks like we'll finish the half at 1-1.
