Olivier Giroud has met with four Arsenal fans who trolled him over his stunning scorpion kick against Crystal Palace last season.

The Frenchman produced a moment of magic when Alexis Sanchez's cross fell just behind the striker.

Giroud cleverly lifted his left leg behind him and flicked the ball in off the bar past a helpless Wayne Hennessey.

Despite the goal winning this year's Puskas Award, four Gunners supporters still found a way to criticise the striker.

One fan in particular, Giles, tweeted: "Olivier Giroud, that’s not a proper scorpion kick, surely it has to be with two feet?? Let me show you how it’s done."

Thanks to Betfair, Giles was invited down, along with three other fans, to Arsenal's training ground to show Giroud first hand 'how it's done'.

After a red-faced Giles met Giroud first hand, Petr Cech volunteered to go in goal for the challenge while summer signing Alexandre Lacazette watched on.

Following a few failed attempts, Giles managed to dribble an effort home (thanks to Cech).

"That challenge was a lot harder than it looked," said the Gunners fan. "Fair play to Giroud. Absolute legend. No action on Twitter for me for a couple of months!"
