Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott was delighted to combine with Alexis Sanchez for their FA Cup win over Hull City.

The 25-year-old has been watching his new team-mate from the sideline this season and admitted he was pleased to finally link up with him on the pitch.

"He's a special player," Walcott told the BBC. "It's great to finally get on the pitch with him and I'm sure there's going to be a lot more appearances of me and him together.

"It's amazing (to be back). It's been a year now, it was good to blow cobwebs away. I'm not putting too much pressure on myself. It was nice to get a start and as long as I'm getting in those chances I'm pleased."
