I don't think you'll see a better taken goal in 2017 than the one he just scored against Palace.

If the build up play was so great how come the ball into Giroud was behind him?Quote:

also the nature of the ball into him being behind doesn't take anything away from the goal, football is a reactive sport, if a cross into the box is meant for a players head and he ends of executing a perfect volley, that doesn't take anything away from the skill of the volley does it? neither should it in this case.
Spot on.Quote:

Souness was particularly harsh in commentary the miserable sod.
He 100% tried to get his foot on it as it was a crap pass to him ,luckily he managed it even more luckily it went towards the goal, even more luckily the keeper messed up and luckily it went in off the barQuote:

The fact of the matter is Giroud executed what he tried. The keeper had no chance, the bar being involved and the pass prior are irrelevant.
He probably couldn't do it again if he tried 100 times I agree, which is what makes it a spectacular well taken goal
Giroud said he was lucky.
Ralls' goal was a worldly then
