Theo Walcott Comments on Arsenal Confidence After UCL Win vs. Ludogorets
- Updated: October 20, 2016
Arsenal forward Theo Walcott has hailed the effort of the team following Wednesday’s 6-0 rout of Ludogorets Razgrad in the UEFA Champions League.
Walcott, Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain fired the Gunners into a three-goal lead on the night before Mesut Ozil scored a second-half hat-trick to add gloss to the scoreline. The victory pushed Arsenal to seven wins in succession in all competitions, and Walcott is delighted to see so many contributors to their positive form.
“Everyone was focused [and] ruthless, and it’s a great result going into the weekend,” the England international said, per the official Arsenal website. “The whole team is firing on confidence at this moment in time.”
The Gunners certainly have a swagger about them. Following a testing start to the Premier League season, manager Arsene Wenger has found a brilliant balance in his XI, and some of the performances during the seven-game winning streak have been splendid.
Alexis Sanchez has led the line superbly, acclimatising well to a new role at the point of the attack. His scurrying movement and industry have offered a different dimension to the Gunners’ play in the final third and made room for Arsenal’s creative stars, such as Ozil, to flourish.
