Arsene Wenger is proud of his Arsenal team for recovering from defeat to West Ham on the opening day of the Premier League season to go top following a 2-1 win over Everton on Saturday.
With Manchester City and Manchester United facing one another on Sunday, Arsenal moved to the summit of the table after taking the three points against Roberto Martinez's side.
"Let's keep going and continue to grow, keep the humility and desire to grow as a team," Wenger told Sky Sports.
"We lost the first game here at the Emirates and after that no one would have said we would be top tonight.
"When you win such a big game like they did on Tuesday it shows a lot about the mentality of your team. That's why I'm very proud of my team because they've shown the ability to refocus."
"Giroud came on and made a difference. When he starts he makes a difference," the coach added.
"There were a lot of questions on our strikers. Giroud and Walcott are outstanding at the moment and that confidence shows."
"It's nice to win this kind of game after a Champions League game," Giroud said.
"The main thing is the team is doing well - that's the best thing for me. As long as we are winning I am pleased with that.
"Me and Theo have a good understanding. He was in good form, now it's me, so we try and bring our small game to the big machine."
