The Premier League runners-up controlled possession but
were put to the sword by a ruthless and clinical performance from the north
Londoners, with the winger hugely influential.
Arsenal laid down a marker ahead of the new Premier
League season by defeating Manchester City 3-1 at the Olympic Stadium in
Helsinki in the two sides' final pre-season fixture.
The Gunners took an early lead, somewhat against the run
of play, as Theo Walcott raced through on goal and effortlessly chipped the
ball into the back of the net.
