Arsenal boss Wenger: Press keep wanting me to replace Giroud

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hailed the performance of Olivier Giroud after victory over Tottenham.

Giroud produced a super goalscoring performance for the derby win.

Wenger remarked: "No, you [the press] spent a lot of time in finding another striker for us! Maybe that woke something up in him. I like what he did today, because technically it was good, he had a huge physical presence. He looked to me today that he had an exceptional quality performance of a real centre forward."
