Walcott scored a wonderful brace

Theo Walcott has been at Arsenal for more than 10 seasons now but has failed to live-up to the expectations of the Arsenal as well as England fans. However, there is something different about the 27-year old this season.

Wenger has played him on the right wing so far and that has brought Walcott back into form. The right side of midfield is ideally the best position for him as he gets in behind the defence on many occasions and also has the ability to take on defenders on the wing.

His great start to the season has seen him scoring 7 goals in 9 matches in all competitions. His good form has also resulted in a call-up to the England team for the World Cup qualifiers during the recently concluded international break.

His decisiveness in the final third has made him a great threat to the opposition so far and Arsenal have been helped because of the same, which was also seen today with the two goals that he scored.

The Gunners have now won six consecutive games in the Premier League which has seen them climb to the second place on the table, level on 19 points with Manchester City and behind only on goal difference.
