Olivier Giroud was the subject of praise from Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger on Wednesday night.
The French striker scored the Gunners' opener in the 64th minute of their eventual 2-1 triumph over QPR at Loftus Road which clearly pleased his manager.
Giroud has scored in successive Premier League matches since his poor performance in the Champions League against Monaco and Wenger has been thrilled with his response.
"Olivier has that mental strength as well, he's strong mentally too," he said.
"He can take criticism and respond, and he's shown that.
"I feel that was a bit harsh on him because he missed some chances but that can happen.
"We were all down after the Monaco game, but we responded well against Everton, and the confidence we got against Everton paid off tonight."
