In this image, Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud celebrates after scoring the fifth goal against Reading during the Capital One Cup, Round 4 match at the Madejski Stadium on October 30,2012. The previous season had seen an intense rivalry between these two teams, with Arsenal emerging victorious in their three encounters in the Premier League. The Capital One Cup, then known as the League Cup, presented a new opportunity for both teams to lock horns. The atmosphere at the Madejski Stadium was electric as the crowd roared their team on. However, it was Arsenal who dominated the game, with Giroud leading the charge. In the 68th minute, Giroud received a perfect cross from Santi Cazorla and coolly finished past the Reading goalkeeper to put Arsenal 3-0 up. The goal was a testament to the French international's clinical finishing and poise in front of goal. The fourth goal was a team effort, with Giroud providing the final touch after a series of passes involving Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky, and Theo Walcott. The goal extended Arsenal's lead to 4-0, leaving Reading with a mountain to climb. Despite Reading pulling two goals back, Arsenal held on to win 5-2, thanks in large part to Giroud's brace. The victory kept Arsenal's hopes alive in the Capital One Cup and underlined their status as a formidable force in English football. This photograph captures the excitement and intensity of the match, with Giroud's jubilant celebration encapsulating Arsenal's dominance over their rivals. The image is a reminder of a memorable moment in Arsenal's history and a testament to the team's attacking prowess.
