"A big game against Arsenal which will be so special for me personally. We played very well and we want to finish in the top three in the Premier League now.
"We played three at the back, it's been a while since we did but we started very well. We had them under pressure and they didn't create much. We dominated the game."
Chelsea coach Frank Lampard heaped praises on Giroud for a great display. The French striker is an integral member of the squad now.
Lampard explained that "the team worked very hard in the last two days on countering Man United running in behind, and also on getting players into midfield to make tackles."
On goalscorer Giroud, Lampard says "the striker sets a great example to the younger players and today the other players did well playing around him. That is all from the boss here for now but check out the official club website and the 5th Stand app shortly for more."
