Walcott: Arsenal play was breathtaking

Theo Walcott described Arsenal's play "breathtaking" after victory at FA Cup opponents Brighton.

Walcott struck in the win.

"It was breathtaking at times against Brighton. It's nice to get back in amongst it as well. We're getting players back to fitness and when you do that there's a competition for places - the manager's going to have a bit of a headache picking his best 11. It was nice to go through.

"They didn't surprise us at all - it was the same as a couple of years back. It was always a tough challenge which is what makes the FA Cup so special. We're just very grateful that we got through in the end and Tomas' goal was a fantastic finish."
