England manager Fabio Capello has heaped praise on young striker Theo Walcott, after seeing him play an influential part in the match against Liverpool.
Walcott had come on as a substitute and played a direct part in the build-up to the Gunners' second away goal that would have seen them through if not for a defensive collapse from the Gunners.
Capello said: "I was at Anfield to see Arsenal face Liverpool and the atmosphere was electric. It was a wonderful game and both teams played their part in creating such a spectacle.
"I was delighted with the impact that Theo Walcott made on the game - the run he made for Arsenal's second goal was incredible.
"To go past so many players with such speed and balance is one thing, but to have the composure and awareness to pick a pass at the crucial moment showed great skill and maturity.
"There can be no disputing Walcott's ability."

It was a beautiful run. Walcott can be the next Ronaldo and can even beat Ronaldo. Fergie played Ronaldo every match and now he is the best and if Walcott plays every match then no one can match his pace and he will be an Arsenal legend. He was a good buy from Southampton.
