For Olivier Giroud, the 2015 Emirates FA Cup final was a very different experience to the win 12 months earlier - but that did not detract from the joy he felt in lifting the trophy.
In 2014, the French striker set up Aaron Ramsey’s extra-time winner against Hull, but a year on he had to be content with a place on the bench.

Giroud stepped off it in the closing stages to score the last goal as we beat Aston Villa 4-0 and he still savours every bit of the memory.
“It was a totally different game [to 2014] because started the game very well, we scored early and won 4-0,” he told Arsenal Player.
“It was different, but just as good as the first one because it is a trophy with Arsenal.
“It is always difficult to win it twice in a row, so I was very proud.”
