Olivier Giroud targets FA Cup glory

Olivier Giroud rallies his Arsenal teammates to focus on winning the FA Cup having secured a top-four finish.

Olivier Giroud has rallied his Arsenal teammates to now focus on winning the FA Cup having secured a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Everton's defeat to Manchester City on Saturday meant that the Gunners qualified for the Champions League for a 17th successive year under manager Arsene Wenger.

With an FA Cup final with Hull City looming large, though, the Frenchman feels that the North London outfit should now focus their attentions on ending the club's eight-year trophy drought.

He told BBC Sport: "We feel relieved because we had to fight until the end of the season [to claim fourth spot].

"We have a really exciting final game [in the FA Cup] so we have to keep our focus."

Wenger's side meet the Tigers at Wembley on May 17 to contest the final.

Giroud fired his side to a 1-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon.
