Arsenal winger Theo Walcott enjoying his football after starring role

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott says he is enjoying his football after his brace sealed a routine 2-0 victory over FC Basel.

Arsene Wenger's side were on the front-foot from the off as Walcott found the net twice in the opening 26 minutes and never looked back in their Group A clash.

"We were very professional today," Walcott told BT Sport. "The intensity was there from the start, it died off towards the end but you can understand that. It shows how far we have come, we need to move on now to Sunday.

"I am working hard, enjoying my football. I just try to improve everyday. Things are going well but this will all be forgotten about really, it is all about the next day.

"This team is very strong at the moment and we should be proud.

"Not many teams would like to play us, that is for sure. We cannot get ahead of ourselves, we have a lot to do and hopefully the past can change. We have so much experience in the Champions League realise how important that top spot is."
