Giroud looked to have won it for the visitors with two goals either side of half-time - after Aaron Ramsey had scored their first equaliser - to cancel out Roberto Firmino's first-half brace.
But the Gunners conceded in stoppage time through midfielder Joe Allen, who volleyed home from eight yard out after coming on just moments before.
The 3-3 draw means Arsene Wenger's men sit joint-top of the table with Leicester, and Giroud hopes Arsenal don't live to regret the result come the end of the season.
The Frenchman said: "It is disappointing because we were 3-2 up. It was a nice game for the fans because a lot of intensity and chances to score.
"When you concede three goals in an away game it is hard to win. My first feeling is disappointment.

"But we have shown some character to come back from 1-0 and 2-1 down. Hopefully, we are not going to have to regret this goal at the end of the championship.
"It is still a draw, they've done well at the end of the game and pushed a lot. It's a good performance but we could have done better."
