“Arsenal have lost points stupidly” – Olivier Giroud

Olivier Giroud, who is finally settling into life at Arsenal, has expressed his happiness at his new found form – he has scored five times in five games – and winning the North London derby on Saturday.

“This was a great performance in a derby. Lately, we have lost points stupidly, but this was good.”

The 26-year-old, who moved to the Emirates in £13 million deal this summer, will face his old side in the Champions League group match tomorrow.

“I’ll be happy to see them again. This year, things have not gone quite so well for them – they have had less success, but they are getting better,” he said.

“It’s a must-win match for us, but Montpellier have nothing to lose now they are already eliminated. We have to be careful as that’s when some teams are most dangerous.

“They didn’t become champions of France with no talent. We must not take anything for granted.”
