Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is pleased about the reaction he received from Montpellier HSC fans.

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has thanked the Montpellier HSC fans for his warm reception prior to his side's win in the Champions League.

The 25-year-old moved from the Ligue 1 champions to the Gunners for £13m during the summer after spending two breakthrough seasons with La Paillade.

The France international was granted a quick return to the Stade de la Mosson as his current club recorded a 2-1 victory against Montpellier, and Giroud has thanked his former fans for welcoming him back with a positive reception.

"I tried to stay really focused before the game. I did not go out, I wanted to keep my mind on the pitch and I did it pretty well," said Giroud.

"Tonight we got the victory and I was really glad about the way the fans cheered for me.

"Look, I didn't score the goal which would have helped me and definitely kick-started my season, but I was decisive by giving an assist to Lukas [Podolski]."

Giroud is still looking for his first Arsenal goal.
