Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has praised striker Olivier Giroud for his all-round ability following the 2-0 win over Aston Villa.
Giroud scored the 50thPremier League goal of his Arsenal career on Sunday and Henry, who has been critical of the player in the past, believes that Giroud deserved all the plaudits for his performance.
"For me, he was Man of the Match," Sky Sports pundit said.
"I like his all-round play and his work-rate. We all know he can hold the ball well up front and he does it with ease at times. He can hold the ball, flick it, and will also do the dirty work.
"He's always available, that's one thing I like with him. He will always ask for the ball.
"Well done to him and Arsenal at the moment. They are flying."
