The 33-year-old told Chelsea's website as quoted by Sun:

"There are a few! I liked that one against Liverpool (at Stamford Bridge in 2018) because it was not easy.

"I liked the one in the Europa League final.

"I like diving headers because it means you come with pace and you have the force of your body.

"Petr can tell you I maybe couldn’t have had a better connection.

"I went 100 per cent for it and didn’t even think my friend Laurent Koscielny could put his foot and hit me.

"This was definitely one of the best."

Giroud has scored seven goals in nine appearances for the Blues so far this season including the four goals against Sevilla in the Champions League.
