Football Whispers' Mark Thompson breaks down the Frenchman's record from the bench.
4 starts (21 substitute appearances)
"The Frenchman has been the epitome of a super-sub this season, making five times more appearances from the bench than the starting line-up for Arsenal and Chelsea combined.
"All six of his league goals have been from the bench – although his single league assist came in a match he started, against West Bromwich Albion.
"It's not just getting on the scoresheet that Giroud helps his side, however. Looking at expected goals (xG) and expected goals assisted (xA), he's been contributing 0.93 xG+xA for every 90 minutes he's on the pitch, the joint highest value in the league alongside Sergio Agüero.
"Coming on as a substitute when the game is more open will help Giroud's stats, but his knack of finding the net from the bench is incredible talent and one Chelsea have already benefitted from since his move across London."
