Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud says a win will soon be around the corner after their draw with Stoke City.

Giroud had arguably Arsenal's best chance in the dying seconds when his long-range effort grazed the top of the net.

"I hoped it would go in," he said afterwards in ever-improving English. "I saw the keeper off his line and I did not see Aaron [in the middle] for a cross. So I tried to take my chance.

"[It means] we have to wait for our [first] victory. But it is coming soon. We played well and had some good situations in front of goal. We just have to score now - me too.

"But I gave it all today. It was a hard game against a big team. But I felt good in the game and we missed one little thing - a goal.

"But there are a lot of good players here at Arsenal. It is easy to play with them. We need a little more time to come together."
