Following Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday, Arsene Wenger rated Olivier Giroud’s scorpion kick goal among his top five as the club’s manager.

The French striker joins some illustrious company as Wenger’s list also included strikes from Arsenal legends Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry.

“It was an exceptional goal at the end of a fantastic collective moment, which is what our game is about. Olivier had a little reflex, and he transformed that goal into art. Art because of the surprise, because of the beauty of the movement, the efficiency of the move, the Arsenal boss said in his post-match interview.

“The moment the ball went in, that will be remembered as the Giroud goal that nobody will forget. Every striker is remembered for one, two or three special goals, and that will be what he is remembered for. He brings the unexpected, and we all come to football to get the unexpected,” he added.

Looking back on the sensational goals he’s witnessed since becoming Arsenal manager, Wenger made an attempt to select the very best.

“I have been spoiled in my career, with many great players and great strikers here, but that is certainly in the top five goals. With Berkgamp against Leicester or Newcastle, with Henry against Real Madrid or Liverpool, or [Nwankwo] Kanu at Chelsea.”
