In his first visit to Rome, Olivier Giroud had one goal in mind: to score against AC Milan and end the club's three-match winless streak in Serie A. And he did just that, scoring the only goal of the game in a 1-0 victory at Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday night.

The goal was a fitting tribute to Giroud, who has been struggling with form this season and has only scored two goals in his last eight appearances for Arsenal. However, his performance against Milan showed that he still has the quality to make a difference when it matters most.

Giroud's goal came after just six minutes of play, as he capitalized on a defensive error by Milan's goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Frenchman took advantage of a loose ball in the box and slotted home a low shot into the bottom corner of the net.

It was a well-deserved win for Arsenal, who were looking to bounce back from their disappointing defeat to Manchester United earlier in the week. Giroud's goal will surely boost his confidence going forward,Serie A Observation and could be the catalyst for a resurgence in his Arsenal career.

Overall, Giroud's performance against Milan was a reminder of why he is such a valuable asset to Arsenal. His experience, skill and workrate have always made him a threat up front, and he proved once again that he can still produce the goods when it counts. It will be interesting to see how he performs in future matches, especially against teams like Chelsea or Manchester United, who will certainly pose a bigger challenge for him.
