da bet nacional: Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was pleased to see Theo Walcott back in action and in fine form as he scored twice in the 4-0 Carling Cup victory at Newcastle United.
da jogodeouro: The 21-year-old was making his first start in more than a month, having been injured while on international duty with England.
Wenger told his club's official website:"He was very sharp at the start of the season, but then he got injured with England against Switzerland and it was his first game back.
"You see that he has improved his composure in front of goal, he has tremendous pace and his first touch is much better.
"The timing of his runs have always been good, but his first touch when running at full pace is better. That makes a big difference.
"I think Theo is 21 years old. That's the age when other players start to play. He is a very young boy and he is a very intelligent player and that's why I believe he will continue to develop.
"He has tremendous pace and power and in front of goal he is very good. The timing of his runs are good and for a striker that is the most important thing."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
