The Gunners travelled to Greece and bagged an emphatic 3-0 victory over Olympiacos to keep their hope alive, after losing both of their opening two group games.
The 29-year-old Frenchman becomes the first Arsenal man to score a hat-trick in the Champions League away from the home since the legendary Thierry Henry did the same back in 2002 in a 3-1 win over Roma.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Giroud’s sensational performance at Karaiskakis Stadium.
If Arsenal were ridiculous v Olympiacos at home, they were sublime tonight. Just exceptional. Koscielny, Giroud, Ozil 9/10s

Giroud now has as many CL hat-tricks as Ibrahimovic, Neymar and Mike Newell.

Giroud has been criticised a lot and has been the scapegoat, but he loves he fans and gives his everything. His commitment is unquestionable

Class performances from Giroud and Campbell tonight, with Koscielny and Cech keeping us in it at the other end. A solid team performance.
