Olivier Giroud helped Arsenal to silence every critic as the France stricker's double inspired much-needed 5-1 victory over West Ham on Wednesday.
.
Arsene Wenger's team had been subjected to scathing criticism from fans and pundits after successive defeats against Manchester City and Chelsea seriously damaged their bid to finish in the Premier League's top 4.
.
Wenger was reported to have held crisis talks with his players this week and the Gunners looked set to hit the new low when Jack Collison gave West Ham a shock first-half lead at the Emirates Stadium.
.
But Arsenal bounced back in emphatic fashion, equalising through Lukas Podolski and then taking the points after Giroud sparked an astonishing spree of 4 goals in 10 second-half minutes, with Santi Cazoria and Theo Walcott on the scoresheet before Giroud completed the rout.
The team played very well to get that win. Arsene wenger must've talked sense into their head.
Yes they did.And i did not expect that from them.Up Arsenal!
