Sunderland win anything but easy, says Giroud

Olivier Giroud helped Arsenal to a 4-1 win away to Sunderland on Saturday, but the striker felt the scoreline did not reflect the game.

Olivier Giroud denied that Arsenal had an easy time of things in their 4-1 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.

The France international came off the bench to score twice in the second half after Jermain Defoe had cancelled out Alexis Sanchez's first-half header.

Sanchez netted a late fourth to seal a fifth win in six league games for Arsene Wenger's side and condemn bottom-of-the-table Sunderland to an eighth defeat in 10 top-flight matches.
