This morning the same scoreline was repeated and much to my delights, the Frenchman found the net with a sublime finish after a through ball.
Given it was only against Coventry City in the COC but for me a goal is still a goal and to a striker getting your name on the scoresheet for your new club for the first time will ease the pressure.
The optimist in me will say it will be the first of many for Giroud and together with Andrey Arshavin who also found the net in his first outing for The Gunners this season, it gave positive vibes to everyone connected to the team.
With The Ox also netting a wonderful goal, Ignasi Miquel finding the net again and a brace for Theo Walcott, Arsene Wenger could be forgiven for grinning from from one end to another in his sleep later.
Never mind that Giroud saw his penalty saved by Joe Murphy earlier in the second half. It will serve as a reminder to him that despite scoring it does not mean his work will be easy from now own.
Still, I believe he will be very influential this season for us.
