Arsene Wenger praised Olivier Giroud's mentality as "a fighter" after the striker scored a later winner in Arsenal's 1-0 victory over West Brom on Monday.
Giroud was given a rare start up front and responded by heading in a cross from Mesut Ozil in the 86th minute after West Brom had frustrated the Gunners for most of the afternoon.
It was Giroud's first Premier League start of the season after seeing Alexis Sanchez take over the role as central striker for the Gunners, but his fourth league goal after making an impact off the bench in previous games.
And while Giroud and the rest of Arsenal's attack struggled to create chances for the opening 85 minutes despite dominating possession, Wenger agreed that the France striker proved a point with his late goal.
