LONDON — Olivier Giroud headed home an 86th-minute winner as Arsenal avoided another Christmas stumble in the English Premier League to beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 on Monday.
The visitors limited the Gunners to only a handful of chances at Emirates Stadium, with goalkeeper Ben Foster on top form.
But Giroud, making his first league start of the season, headed home Mesut Ozil's cross to secure a much-needed triumph for the hosts, who snapped a two-game losing streak in the league.
It was Giroud's sixth goal of the season as Ozil celebrated his 100th league appearance.
