Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott was delighted to start for their FA Cup win over Hull City.

January 4 was a significant date for Walcott, with it being a year to the day since he suffered ligament damage to his left knee against Tottenham and the 25-year-old was understandably delighted to start against Hull.

"It's amazing. It has been a year nice to the day, so to get my first start and blow cobwebs away, I was pleased," he told BBC Sport.

"Mentally (is the toughest thing). You have to see how you can cope with watching your team-mates going out to train and you're only one in the treatment room, but it gave me the opportunity to build on something."
