Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has picked up the FIFA Puskas Award at 'The Best' ceremony in London for his scorpion kick.
The France international, who is struggling for first-team action at the Emirates this season, caught the eye in a game against Crystal Palace in the 2016-17 campaign.
Inside the first 17 minutes of the Premier League encounter, Giroud found the back of the net with a scorpion kick volley to help the Gunners to a 2-0 victory over the Eagles.
Giroud was presented with the award at the London Palladium, beating Venezuela's Deyna Castellanos's stoppage-time goal from the halfway line in the Under-17s Women's World Cup, as well as a bicycle kick scored by South African goalkeeper Oscarine Masuluke.
