Olivier Giroud appeared to mock Arsenal following Chelsea’s Europa League victory on Wednesday evening.
The Frenchman opened the scoring for the Blues with a fine header to send them on their way to a comfortable 4-1 victory over their London rivals in Baku.
And Giroud, who spent six years at the Emirates before moving to west London in January 2018, did not hold back on the celebrations following the victory, aiming a clear dig at his former club amidst the jubilant scenes on the team bus.
In Italian midfielder Jorginho’s live video on Instagram, Giroud can be seen holding the trophy and shouting: “Thank you, Arsenal”.
On field captain Cesar Azpilicueta was also seen at the forefront of celebrations, running down the aisle of the vehicle to congratulate his team-mates.
While Brazilian defender David Luiz was hilariously booed as he took the limelight of the camera.
Celebrations had already been rife in the changing room moments after club captain Gary Cahill and Azpilicueta lifted the trophy.
The latter even had a bowl of fruit thrown at him by a member of Chelsea’s coaching staff in the wild scenes in the dressing room.
And Giroud’s swipe has seemingly ruffled a few feathers amongst the Arsenal fan base.
Good Morning Britain presenter Piers Morgan, a die-hard Gunners fan, aimed an angry tweet towards the striker.
He tweeted: “Giroud, Arsenal’s worst lead striker in the past 35 years, cements his legacy.”
After the game, Giroud paid tribute to Arsenal, claiming the club changed his life.
“It was a good final and we have been better, more efficient in the second half,” he said.
“I am very proud, this team deserved to win something. It was special for me, I am happy for this club. It’s my second trophy in two years,” he added in reference to the FA Cup he won in 2018 – his fourth overall after the three won as an Arsenal player.
“These two clubs changed my life, they gave me the opportunity to play in the Premier League. I didn’t want to celebrate against Arsenal but I am so proud to win this trophy with Chelsea.
“When you give me the chance to get game time I always try my best. It was our second target to win the Europa League after finishing in the top four so I feel blessed.”
