Arsene Wenger praised Olivier Giroud’s “fighting” qualities after the Arsenal striker's solitary header ensured a last gasp victory for the Gunners against West Brom on Boxing Day.
It was Giroud’s first start in the Premier League this season and he marked it with the 86th minute winner to finally break down West Brom’s brave resistance.
Gunners boss Wenger said: “He’s a fighter and has a fantastic mentality. It has been frustrating for him because he didn’t always play but I think we have an honest relationship.
“I have big respect for him and he knows that he was not always playing but despite that he kept a strong motivation level.
“Part of the job of a player is to be always ready. The players who are always ready will be there and the players who feel sorry for themselves give you one more reason to justify why you didn’t select them. ''The fighters are always ready;'' Wenger added.
