It didn’t take long for the German international to get back into the swing of things

Having gone 1-0 down early in the second half, Arsenal’s response has been excellent as they fired in three goals, two from Theo Walcott and one from Lukas Podolski, to take control of the game.

While things looked a bit shaky at the start as Carlton Cole scrambled home a parried shot to give Sam Allardyce’s side the lead, Walcott sprang into action immediately, getting a lucky goal that slid past goalkeeper Adrian (great name that lad has) and doubling his tally with a powerful header.

Podolski, on in place of the injured Ramsey, was not about to miss out on the action and after a lovely knockdown from Olivier Giroud, he slammed this ball into the bottom corner with that powerful left peg of his. A scoring start for the German, who had been out since suffering an injury in the second game this season.
