Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud joked that his goal was better than Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s effort for Manchester United.

Giroud scored a wonderful scorpion kick against Crystal Palace, flicking out his left boot and sending the ball over goalkeeper in off the crossbar.

Mkhitaryan also scored in similarly astonishing fashion at home to Sunderland in less than a week prior and his effort saw him claim Goal of the Month.

However,He, Giroud believes his was the pick of the pair.

“Actually, they were teasing me in the dressing room, saying that the Mkhitaryan’s goal was better!” he said in a Q&A video with Sky’s ‘Soccer AM’.

“It’s crazy that two similar goals were scored in one week. I don’t know if I got inspired, it’s destiny.

“He did very well, but I think mine was better! But to be serious it was funny, we were all surprised by what happened.”

Giroud has scored seven goals in the Premier League this season as Arsenal sit fourth in the table, eight points adrift of leaders Chelsea.
