Arsenal striker, Olivier Giroud, says his scorpion kick goal was better than Manchester United forward, Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s effort.
Both players scored in similarly outrageous style within the space of a few days and the Frenchman described the situation as “crazy.”
Giroud’s effort was against Crystal Palace on New Year Day, flicking out his left foot and sending the ball over goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey in off the crossbar.
While Mkhitaryan scored in similarly astonishing fashion at Old Trafford against Sunderland less than a week prior and his goal was voted Goal of the Month for December.
However, the Arsenal man believes his was the better of the two scorpion kicks.
He told Sky Sports, “Actually, they were teasing me, saying that the Mkhitaryan one was better!
“It’s crazy that two similar goals were scored in one week. I don’t know if I got inspired, it’s destiny.
“He did very well as well, but I think mine is better! But to be serious it was funny in the dressing room, we were all surprised by what happened.”
The French striker has scored seven goals in the league this season as the Gunners sit fourth in the table, eight points behind leaders Chelsea.
