Walcott almost unstoppable - Coquelin

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott is almost unstoppable when at his best, according to team-mate Francis Coquelin.

Walcott set up two of Arsenal's three goals in their 3-0 victory over Manchester United in the Premier League on Sunday.

"It was not only offensively, what he did defensively was absolutely amazing. He was defending, chasing the ball. It makes things easier for us at the back," he said.

"When he is in this kind of mood he is not far off being unstoppable.

"He shows everyone he can play in this role up front and on Sunday it was a great win for us against a big team. A lot of people didn't expect us to win but we proved a lot of people wrong."

“We are getting stronger against the big teams. We beat City last season, now United," he said.

"It’s all about consistency. The league is getting tougher because even the smaller teams are beating the bigger teams.

"So we need to be getting results every week."
