Arsenal 1-0 Tottenham: Who needs to spend £109million when Gunners have Olivier Giroud?
2 Sep 2013 06:27
The Frenchman's first-half strike shows you can't put a price on team spirit as Arsene Wenger's side win the first North London Derby of the season
Who needs Luis Suarez? Who needs Gonzalo Higuain? Or even Wayne Rooney?
Not Arsenal when they have got Olivier Giroud, whose match winner proved you cannot put a price on team spirit.
And it also showed that you can never write off Arsene Wenger as victory meant that no team has taken more points than Arsenal in this calendar year.
Crisis? What crisis? You would never believe it from the *celebrations among the Arsenal fans after the final whistle. It was as if they had won the title. It meant that much to them.
Maybe it was over the top, but all summer everyone has been laughing at the Gunners’ botched transfer business and their attempts to sign a big-name striker while lauding Tottenham’s £109million spending spree.
But the first job Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has got on his hands is to make a few *introductions between his players. Their big-money stars were a letdown at times and looked like *strangers.
They rarely troubled Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny.
Villas-Boas appears to have thrown together a team, they did not gel and they were second best throughout a contest which Arsenal should have won more comfortably.
Wenger’s side are still short of numbers, they are crippled by injuries and remain in the market for a big signing to bolster their wafer-thin squad.
But Arsenal’s greatest quality is their team spirit and, in Giroud, they have a striker who knows that they have been trying to replace him but has risen to the challenge. His determination and fight at the end typified Arsenal’s spirit. Giroud was limping in the latter stages as he appeared to be suffering from cramp after running his socks off.
But the Frenchman found a second wind as Tottenham pressed forward in search of an equaliser. To a man, Arsenal were back, throwing their bodies in front of the ball and making *last-ditch *challenges.
Success: Olivier Giroud has started the season well

Their determination lifted the crowd who roared in angry defiance.
This Arsenal team are together as a unit and dug deep to show pride and determination for their manager, and they seemed to enjoy sticking two fingers up to those who have spent all summer writing them off.
The backdrop for the north London derby was always tense as Arsenal knew defeat would leave fans turning on their *spendthrift manager whose only deals so far
have been free *transfers.
But Arsenal had a point to prove, no one more so than Giroud.
They swarmed forward and *dominated midfield, with Santi Cazorla’s creativity the difference.
The Spanish midfielder twice forced great saves from Spurs keeper Hugo Lloris from *brilliant free-kicks. The Gunners went ahead on 23 minutes when Giroud scored his fourth goal this term, turning Theo Walcott’s low cross past Lloris at the near post.
Giroud wheeled away, kissing the Arsenal badge and it started wild celebrations. The Gunners were buoyed by the goal as Walcott and Aaron Ramsey both had great chances. Lloris made a *goal-saving tackle on Walcott outside his box.
Arsenal were in control and even Jack Wilshere coming off just before half-time with stomach cramps did not derail them.
On came Mathieu Flamini, re-signed this week on a free transfer, and he was superb as he flew into tackles, made blocks and lifted his team-mates.
The second half was all about Tottenham pushing forward while Arsenal looked dangerous on the counter-attack.
Giroud’s deflected shot forced a stunning save from Lloris, while substitute Nacho Monreal wasted a great chance from point-blank range.
Spurs midfielder Etienne Capoue was stretchered off after suffering an horrific-looking injury and he needed oxygen as he left the scene.
Spurs threw on Jermain Defoe as they became increasingly desperate, but Arsenal’s back-line held firm. When Giroud only half cleared, Defoe’s shot deflected off Laurent Koscielny and forced Szczesny into his best save of the match and then Giroud blocked Roberto Soldado’s follow-up.
There was a certain irony there. Giroud cost £13m last summer, exactly half the price of Soldado and yet Arsenal’s match winner had the last laugh.
Giroud is in his second season, improving all of the time, and what he lacks in pace and mobility he is making up for in goals and passion.
