Walcott praise for Arshavin

Theo Walcott has praised the quality of Andrey Arshavin after another stunning moment for the Russian at Anfield.

The midfielder, playing as a striker, unleashed an unstoppable shot in the 57th minute to win a crucial game for Arsenal against Liverpool.

Walcott believes Arshavin's talent can be 'frightening' for defenders to play against.

"If you put him in those positions, he is always going to put it away," said the 20-year-old.

"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."
