Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has hit back at Thierry Henry for recent comments made by the Gunners legend.

Following the goalless draw against Sunderland on Wednesday night, Henry said the following about his fellow Frenchman on Sky Sports: "I think Giroud is doing extremely well but can you win the league with him? I wouldn't think so."

But Giroud took offence to the all-time Arsenal leading scorer, telling L'Equipe: "I heard he was saying too many dull things.

"That was a bomb and it had its desired effect."
