Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was delighted with Olivier Giroud's goalscoring performance in victory over Everton.
It was a good response from Giroud after being criticised for defeat to Monaco.
"It was a great goal. He responded very well and I'm not happy only because he scored a goal but also because of the workrate he put in today from the first to the last minute," said Wenger.
"The worry for me was him lasting 90 minutes. I took him off after 65 so he only played an hour the other night. All these ingredients were important in my decision. When a guy misses [chances in] one game, straight away to take him out [would be harsh] and I thought his presence would be important against Everton."
