Bacary Sagna hailed Andrey Arshavin's goal scoring performance in Arsenal's thumping of Blackburn Rovers on Saturday.

"It is great to have him for this game because every time he has played, he has been really good for us," said Sagna. "He has everything - he can shoot well, pass the ball, arrive in different positions and also has great power.

"He is not very tall but he knows how to deal with physical stuff. And now he has shown he can score great goals as well."
