9. Olivier Giroud vs. Olympiakos December 9, 2015

Skill: 4- This was certainly one of the nicest goals to watch all season. First of all Ozil’s pass to essentially nullify five defenders is jaw-dropping. Ramsey’s pass is perfect and Olivier Giroud has become absolutely prolific with his head. This goal was a sign of what Arsenal are capable of at any given moment. This first goal got the burly Frenchman going, and he rode this momentum all the way to an outstanding maiden hat trick for Arsenal.

Opponenet: 3- The defending Greek champions put up quite the fight against the Gunners in London. We clearly walked into that game unprepared and ill-equipped. Coming into the match, Olympiakos had a perfect record at home against the Gunners. However this time Arsenal were able to get the job done in Athens.

Significance: 4- There’s no point in beating a dead horse. We all know how important this is for the club. This will be the 16th consecutive year that Arsenal have made it to the knockout round and that’s certainly quite the accomplishment. However, it is time to improve even more in Europe. The competition has been overly complicated so far if you ask me. Now that Arsenal have made it through, its time to see them make something of the opportunity.
