Olivier Giroud came off the bench in the second half to a rousing reception from Emirates.
Oli spent six years at Arsenal, scoring 105 goals in 253 games.
Although he was unable to stop Chelsea from being beaten 2-0 by the Gunners, it was his reaction after the match which caught everyone.
He paraded Emirates Stadium, applauding each side for all the love and respect he has received.

I’m sure I will be in the minority but always rated Giroud and miss having him as a plan B when needed class always shines through and this man always played for the badge on the shirt and never stirred things if not picked to start and gave 109% when he came on https://t.co/R825NAB60R
