Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has featured only sparingly so far this season and the Frenchman has revealed he is growing increasingly frustrated by his time on the bench.

Arsenal are enjoying an impressive run of form this Premier League season, with six wins from their last six games elevating them to the summit of the table alongside Manchester City.

The PSG player quickly began protesting in the direction of the referee, before Marquinhos …

L’Equipe have given Arsenal star Olivier Giroud a simply horrendous mark for his performance in last night’s 0-0 draw with Belarus in their opening World Cup qualifier.
