Walcott
settles in nicely
Premier Reserve League South
Arsenal 2, Charlton 0
SOL Campbell and Robin van Persie came through Monday nights
clash with Charlton unscathed as they return to fitness.
But it was Theo Walcott who inspired Arsenal to victory,
breaking the deadlock seven minutes after half-time from Van
Persies perfectly timed through ball.
Afterwards, reserve team boss Neil Banfield told the New Journal
there was more to come from the 16-year-old after switching
him from the left wing to the right and then up front for the
final 10 minutes.
Banfield said: Theo has got a lot of strings to his bow.
I think hes a player that can play in those three positions.
He is always a threat. He contributed to the team with
things that we are really pleased with and hes settling
down and getting used to the Arsenal way of playing. Itll
take time but there are certainly good signs showing from him.
Nicklas Bendtner sealed Arsenals win by rolling the ball
under the keeper with 16 minutes left. |
