Walcott praises 'unstoppable' Fabregas

Striker Theo Walcott has praised captain Francesc Fabregas after his imperious performance against Blackburn Rovers.

The Spaniard was involved in five of the six Arsenal goals, providing assists for four and scoring one himself. He also had five shots on target.

Walcott said that if Fabregas continues to play and improve at this rate, the midfield maestro would be unstoppable.

The England international himself benefited from one of Fabregas' assists which allowed him to score on his season debut.

Walcott said: "If he plays like he did against Blackburn, nobody will be able to stop him this season. He is fantastic to play with.

"He is still so young and he has a lot of pressure on his shoulders but he is a fantastic person to learn from.

He played the ball to me for my goal and I didn't have to break my stride. That's how good he is.

"It's difficult to play amazingly well throughout the whole season. He is only 22 but he has been around for a very long time. He is our captain and he is doing a great job."
