Giroud shows sublime touch to put Arsenal ahead, kisses armband in Hillsborough tribute

The Frenchman fired Arsenal into the lead on 55 minutes.

OLIVIER GIROUD SERVED up two lovely touches in a matter of seconds as he gave Arsenal the lead against West Ham tonight.

The first was with his left foot, deftly trapping a dropping ball before firing the Gunnersโ€™ second goal past Adrian.

The Frenchman then paid his own tribute to the 96 fans who died in the Hillsborough disaster, kissing the black armband worn for todayโ€™s 25th anniversary and pointing to the sky.

    NA PIARSAIGHโ€ฆ. : I donโ€™t know who you are. I donโ€™t know what you think you can do in Croke park. If you are looking for a win today I can tell you should be playing football. I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for teams like you. If you let us win today, thatโ€™ll be the end of it. I will not hammer you, I will not embarrass you. But if you donโ€™t, We
    will out score you, We will hammer you and We will beat you.
