Arsenal winger Walcott: Arshavin plays with smile on his face

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott hailed matchwinner Andrey Arshavin after victory over Liverpool on Sunday.

Arshavin fired home his eighth goal of the season to see Arsenal to a 2-1 victory at Anfield.

"If you put him in those positions, he is always going to put it away," Walcott told arsenal.com.

"He has got plenty of pace as well. We can frighten defenders at times but also you have to defend well and not always break forward.

"We have got so many attacking players and Andrey has done it yet again.

"He just seems to be relaxed. There is always a smile on his face when he is playing and to get a goal was very well deserved.

"You could put any goalkeeper in that position and he is never going to make the save.

"It was a fantastic finish."
