Scorpion.
But as he is criticized he has lead Arsenal out of trouble several times. And that happened again on the first day of the year. As the Premier League doesn’t stop, the Gunners faced Crystal Palace in a high-intensity match that Arsenal suffered from cracking up. When Giroud finally came to the rescue to open the scoreline with what will surely be a “goal of the year” contender.
Going crazy.
Not only the Arsenal fans went crazy about it. Anyone who loves the game or beauty itself did. Since Giroud’s goal was not only beautiful and impressive. As well many people were in a way prepared for it since a few days before the Armenian player from Manchester United Henrik Mkhitaryan had scored a goal in a similar way.
Internet.
Obviously, something that amazing didn’t pass without being noticed. As the amazing kick was scored the memes and jokes on the internet started. Since the goal was something unreal. As well the Arsenal fans took the chance to brag a little since they really have a point.
Who did it better?
As the memes were flowing the people in the web started the debate of who scored the best scorpion goal. If it was Giroud’s or Makhitaryan’s.
