Olivier Giroud netted a late equaliser as Arsenal rallied to claim an unlikely 3-3 draw at the Vitality Stadium earlier this evening.
The Frenchman netted a goal-of-the-season contender in his side's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on New Year's Day.
And Gunners legend Henry thinks Giroud has deserved to take the plaudits.

Giroud deserves it. He believed in it the whole night and that’s one of his goals
"Giroud deserves it. He believed in it the whole night and that’s one of his goals, that’s what he does best," Henry told Sky Sports.
“Again, a big goal against West Brom, and an amazing goal against Palace, two assists today and another important goal.”
And Henry also liked the fact the Gunners weren't smiling when they left the pitch after the full-time whistle.

He added: "Especially after Bournemouth went down to 10 men, I thought Arsenal would score a fourth, but they didn’t.
“It’s 3-3. I like the fact that they were not happy at the end of the game because that tells me they want to be champions.”
Arsenal are fourth in the table.
