Olivier Giroud: 'Arsenal will not play like Chelsea'

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud insists that the Gunners will never look to play a style of football like Chelsea's.

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud has insisted that the Gunners will never play the same style of football that Chelsea adopt.

The Blues held Arsenal to a goalless draw at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday as they moved a step closer to lifting the Premier League title, which led to some home supporters criticising the tactics of Jose Mourinho's side.

Giroud says that Arsenal will always look to play attacking football.

"It is true maybe they are not [playing] the same game as us, but we are not going to change our game and I think they are not going to change their game," the Frenchman told The Mirror.

"I think they are pleased with that and if they are champions, what can you say? I think [the title race] is over now, to be honest.

"[Chelsea] have to win just one game or maybe have a draw, so you have to be honest with yourself, they are ten points ahead with five games to go."

Arsenal are second in the table, 10 points behind their London rivals.
