Arsenal booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals after beating Hull 4-0 at the KC Stadium.
The game - a replay that neither side wanted to play - lacked action in the first half and it took a disastrous back-pass from David Meyler to get the first goal. Olivier Giroud pounced on the loose ball to slot home.
Kieran Gibbs came close to doubling Arsenal's lead before Giroud finally extended their advantage mid way through the second half.
Theo Walcott then put the game beyond doubt with a late brace but Arsene Wenger was left counting the cost of his victory after losing three first team players to injury.
Olivier Giroud is the daddy
Just a day after celebrating the birth of a son, Giroud ended his barren run with his first goal in 12 games.
It was a gift from David Meyler’s awful back pass and then Giroud slotted home from close range.
Giroud is often under appreciated as a striker but he is a good target man, quite prolific when he gets in the groove and important for Arsenal.
