Giroud was onside.

Giroud was onside.

It was a beauty - Mkhitaryan's was better, though.

Palace are bad, but Allardyce knows it takes more than a couple of weeks to undo all that Pardewing.

Never in a million years

Giroud had so much more to do to beat the keeper, further out and a much, much, MUCH harder angle.

The only thing Giroud's has over Mkhi's is that his was actually onside!

Giroud's went in off the woodwork. Wins by default.

It's not even comparable. Not only is Giroud's goal a good goal contrary to Mkhi's, it's also set up by one of the best counter attacks you'll see all season. It's literally a perfect goal right from when Perez wins the ball, up to Giroud's finish (which was his second backheel in the move).

It's a slam dunk for goal of the season, or at least it should be.

 

[Stevencc]

Bollocks.

Maybe now you understand.

 

[The Iron]

Incredible finish.
