Giroud finds touch after spell in exile

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud faces an anxious wait to see if his last-gasp equalizer against Manchester United was enough to get him back in Arsene Wenger's plans on a permanent basis.

Giroud is a polarizing figure in north London after a lengthy spell of erratic displays, but is hoping to be given a chance to silence the critics in Wednesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain.

Many Arsenal supporters have called for Giroud to be sold, and Gunners boss Wenger appeared to lose faith in him after starting Alexis Sanchez as his central striker for much of the season.
