It seems poor Olivier Giroud can do nothing right these days. The France international played a key role in Arsenal’s comeback from 3-0 down against Bournemouth to 3-3 however, has been slammed for his goal celebration.
Giroud provided two assists and scored the equalising goal during yesterday’s thriller against the Cherries.
However, despite leading a comeback for his side, Giroud has still managed to rile Arsenal fans.
After scoring a 92nd-minute header against Bournemouth, Giroud ran towards the travelling Arsenal fans, leaping in the air and slapping the outside of each of his feet in homage to his New Year’s Day wonder-goal.
With just four minutes remaining in injury time, a lengthy celebration may not have been the wisest choice and his teammates and fans were quick to let him know.
Giroud taking the time to do that scorpion celebration, with several minutes still to win the game, was monumentally stupid.

Unless Giroud turns into an actual scorpion and stings the entire team in the changing room, I don't want to see that celebration again.

Giroud has partially ruined his scorpion kick goal for me now after that HIDEOUS celebration

As much as I love Giroud, that his scorpion jubilation is the most embarrassing thing I've seen in football. The guy fall my hand.

Olivier Giroud would have been dropping scorpion celebrations as the Titanic slipped under icy waters

4+ mins left in additional time, Gabriel and Giroud goes to the fans to celebrate a score drawing goal. That's not passion. Thats just dumb
