French striker Olivier Giroud shared his thoughts after Wednesday's thriller against Liverpool, which saw the Gunners lose their two-point atop the Premier League's standings. One of the top scorers of the English top flight was not satisfied by the game's outcome, since he believes his side should've defended better during the final moments of the game.
Nevertheless, the French footballer earned a lot of praise for his brace against the Reds which nearly caused the Gunners to keep their lead over second place Leicester City.

If Giroud hadn't missed that sitter, we'd have won. League titles come down to those moments. #afc
