http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Theo-Walcott-c34873 has gone on to warn Tottenham Hotspur that the Gunners are right behind them and a minor slip up could see the two London based clubs swap positions in the league standings.
Walcott was part of the Gunners squad that took on Newcastle United last night and he was crucial to the team winning the game in the end.
The winger went on to show everyone just what he is capable of when he gets everything right and as a result, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international produced one of his best performances in an Arsenal shirt.
The attacker set up Van Persie to score the equaliser and even forced the team to switch their full back, since Santon was having a very hard time containing the forward.
Despite Arsenal going into the last minute of stoppage time level with Newcastle, they went on to score in the 95th minute, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thomas-Vermaelen-c35002 smacked a close range effort into the back of the net.
Following that win, Arsenal are now just one point behind Tottenham, despite trailing the team by ten points, just sixteen days ago.
When talking about his team’s performance and while hitting out at Tottenham, Walcott is quoted to have said: "We’re just getting our jobs right, defensively we’ve been fantastic.”
"We know we can always score goals and lately we haven’t been conceding too many. Tottenham have got to be watching their shoulders now.”
"With the squad of players that we’ve got and we’ve got a lot of players coming back to fitness now, we believe we can go much further than [third].”
"It’s been an up and down season but it’s the way you finish, that’s the most important thing."
The way Arsenal have been performing in recent weeks is rather phenomenal. The team is on top of things and seems to be able to beat just about anyone, should they get their cards right.
Wenger now needs to try and get the team to continue performing in the same manner and should they do just that, they could easily go on and secure the third spot for themselves.
