Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud made a decisive comeback on Saturday with two goals in his side’s 4-1 win over Sunderland, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s problems continue.
The French international scored twice in five minutes at the Stadium of Light, while Ibrahimovic drew a blank at home to Burnley which extended his barren run to six Premier League games without a goal.
Unsurprisingly, Arsenal fans were quick to make light of that fact and enjoyed themselves with some hilarious memes and statistics about the pair.
It has undoubtedly been a real struggle for Ibrahimovic in recent weeks as he has been unable to have the level of influence seen at the start of the campaign.
With United continuing to falter, Jose Mourinho will be desperate to see him return to form sooner rather than later to start pushing the club up the table.
However, that will be of no concern to Arsenal fans who continue to impress as they remain unbeaten since the opening weekend of the season. With Giroud returning to fitness and form, Arsene Wenger will now have another key player to call upon to ensure that they are able to maintain their current rich vein of form.
