Welbeck’s perfect gift for boss

Arsenal 4 Galatasaray 1

So perhaps it is just as well goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was sent off against Galatasaray just as his manager was about to sink his teeth into a carrot brought ever nearer by a hat-trick from Danny Welbeck.

Welbeck’s goals, all exquisitely taken, plus a strike from Alexis Sanchez secured a 4-1 victory that relieves the pressure on Arsenal in Group D having lost their opening fixture to Borussia Dortmund.
