Well, Olivier Giroud made quite the impact in Arsenal’s game against Sunderland, didn’t he?
Not only did he come on to the pitch in the 69th minute to net his first goal of the season, and put Arsenal ahead again after Sunderland’s first-half penalty, he scored from his first touch.
Oh, and he struck twice within five minutes, killing off any hopes Sunderland had of making a comeback.
2 - Olivier Giroud has scored with both of his first two touches in this match. Clinical.

That was classic Giroud. He's so good at those one touch finishes #SUNARS #arsenal

It's amazing that Giroud is so sharp right now. Both of his goals were those of an in-form striker. Great to see #SFCvAFC #SUNARS #COYG

As I've also always said, thank heavens for Giroud... #Arsenal

People underestimate Giroud's importance to the side, gives us another dimension & is great competition for the other forwards too #AFC

Like, a lot of love.
OH MY WORD GIROUD!!! I swear to God sometimes I love this man so much & sometimes he makes me want to slap myself from his stupidness.

Things only got better for the Gunners, when Alexis Sanchez also helped himself to a second goal.
I'd be okay with Giroud and Sanchez playing a game of "anything you can do I can do better" for the rest of the season.

Yep, it was a chaotic seven minutes, as Sanchez nimbly converted from close range to make the score 4-1, and complete a miserable afternoon for Sunderland.
3 things are guaranteed in life; death, taxes and 3 points against Sunderland.
