Hector Bellerin praises in-form Olivier Giroud

Hector Bellerin praises Olivier Giroud for his response to criticism after finding his form in front of goal for Arsenal.

Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has paid tribute to teammate Olivier Giroud for his ability to recover from disappointing performances.

Giroud was the target of criticism following a poor display in the Champions League defeat to Monaco last week, but the Frenchman made it five goals in seven Premier League games in Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Queens Park Rangers to draw praise from Bellerin.

"He takes setbacks on the chin. We are really happy for him to get the goals," the Spaniard told reporters. "Now we have two really tough games, against Manchester United and Monaco.

"The next coming weeks are going to be very important and winning at QPR was crucial for our confidence."

The Gunners return to action against Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-final on Monday.
