"It is always nice for a striker to score and it was even better to also get an assist for Alexis' second goal which was important. "These last few weeks I tried to set up goals. [Alexis' goal] was my sixth assist but I'm happy to score too and help the team to reach our target and qualify for the Champions League. We now have our own destiny in our hands to finish third or maybe second.  "We are a team and a group that makes the difference. We try to help each other do the job. We fight for each other and we have a good understanding."Giroud has scored 21 goals in all competitions for Arsenal this campaign.</blockquote>
