Close-range finish, October 6, 2012
Olivier says: I had a good understanding with Lukas Podolski. When he crossed the ball, I knew he would do it strongly and to the first post. I tried to be in the right place at the right time. It was a good cross and I just had to put my foot in the right position. It’s a good one because it was my first Premier League goal and even more because my brothers were away fans.

Control and right-foot shot, April 15, 2014
Olivier says: Left, then right. Above the fact that it’s a nice goal, it was a very important one because we needed to win this game to stay at the top. If we hadn’t won this game, we could have been in trouble. It was a decisive one. It’s a long ball from Thomas - I had a big duel with Carroll, I think he thought I’d jump with him but I took a great first touch and then it was easier to finish with my right foot… which is a bit rare! But I can use it sometimes and put it between the keepers’ legs. It might be some of the best control.

Fierce shot, March 14, 2015
Olivier says: It was one-touch, two-touch - really nice. I hit it against the post and in. It’s a good shot. I was speaking with Debuchy this morning. It’s true that sometimes i’m not in this position, with a bit of time, so when I am, I try to hit the target. It was a strong shot and even nicer because it hit the post and the net. That was a good one too. The give and go, our passing, that was very nice.
