In fact, even before Carroll won his award, plenty of people had convinced themselves that the England international would win, and wind up plenty of Arsenal fans in the process.

Anyway, Carroll's goal has its own mural outside the London Stadium. If Arsenal really believed Giroud's was the better of the two then they'd have surely copied the not-at-all-cringeworthy display.
And we're pretty sure the scorpion kick didn't convince the club to cancel their internal Goal of the Month vote in its honour.

That measured response from Arsenal fans that we were talking about? Well we're sure you'll be able to find it somewhere, but not here.
