Theo Walcott's performance in Arsenal's 3-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday has been praised by Arsene Wenger.

The English forward was in full flight in providing two assists as the Gunners blasted United out of the water with three goals in the opening 20 minutes at the Emirates Stadium.

Walcott was busy and creative throughout the contest and his efforts were certainly not lost on his proud manager.

"That is the most committed I have seen him to the cause for a long time," the Frenchman told Sky Sports.

"It took him time to recover from a bad injury, but his performance today was outstanding."
