Arsenal have won the Premier League Double this month - with Arsene Wenger picking up Manager of the Month and Olivier Giroud claiming Player of the Month for March.

The Gunners were victorious in all four of their league fixtures last month, with Giroud scoring five goals.

The Gunners are now a point behind second-placed Manchester City with eight games remaining.

"I'm really pleased with it," Giroud told arsenal.com. "I would like to thank my team-mates and of course the fans, because it's a collective sport and I couldn't do it on my own."

"It's a great honour to have been selected as Player of the Month, especially because we wanted to bounce back from the Champions League disappointment.

"That's what we've done and we've come back really strongly. We all want to finish strongly and this award will give me more confidence for the following games."
