Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud could be disciplined by the Football Association after headbutting Queen Park Rangers' Nedum Onuoha during the Premier League clash at the Emirates Stadium. Giroud was shown a red card by Martin Atkinson after he appeared to move his head in the direction of his opponent during the 53rd minute. Straight dismissals in the Premier League usually carry an automatic three-match ban, however the incident could be investigated further by the FA.
