Theo Walcott, having being trained along side Thierry Henry this young lad had to deliver which he did yesterday night against their match with Newcastle. It was a goal feast this Saturday at the Emirates Stadium with a total of 10 goals being scored. Walcott was made to start up front with Giroud who was on the bench. Walcott was up front with Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla and Podolski playing just behind him as Arteta and Wilshere were in the middle.

It was all Arsenal in the second half with Oxlade-Chamberlain scoring just five minutes after kick-off. Newcastle again equalized, this time it was the midfielder Marveaux who leveled for the away side. Podolski made it three for Arsenal as Newcastle once again equalized with Ba scoring his 12th of the season.
Walcott came back to score his second of the match with a couple of goals from Giroud who came off the bench to get his brace. Walcott made sure that he got his hattrick in the stoppage time with Arsenal winning a thriller at the Emirates.
Theo Walcott is yet to decide his future at Arsenal as his contract expires this summer. Liverpool are interested in the winger and have even made a bid to sign the England International.
