STEVE BOULD hailed Lukas Podolski as he helped Arsenals Champions League campaign get off to a flier.
Goals from the German ace and Gervinho were enough after Montpellier went ahead.
Gunners No 2 Bould said: Podolskis made an impact. Ive not seen many finishers as good as him ever. Right foot, left foot.
He goes in hard in training. Hes a good trainer, a good boy. Hes really added something.
Bould, who took over from Pat Rice in the summer, was in charge as boss Arsene Wenger watched from the stands due to a touchline ban.
And he admitted: Im not sure I enjoyed it. Ive got a headache and a half. Its tough.
Its a different pressure than Ive been used to taking the Under-18s but we won and we had a great result.
We were excellent in the first half. We kept the ball and kept the crowd quiet.
We looked a little bit tired in the second half. It was tough. Its quite an intimidating place to come and play so were glad to get the result.
Weve had a decent start to the season and kept the run going so its important all round.
Podolski said: I like the situation one-against-one against the keeper. It was an important goal.
Now we go forward to Sundays match with Manchester City.
