Young Gunners shine in easy victory

Genclerbirligi 0 Arsenal 3

Robin van Persie and the impressive Theo Walcott scored as Arsenal recorded an easy win against Turkish side Genclerbirligi in Austria tonight.

The game in Bad Waltersdorf saw first run-outs for new signings Bacary Sagna and Eduardo da Silva.

But it was their more established young team-mates who caught the eye, and in particular the 18-year-old England forward.

Walcott laid on van Persie's opener in first-half injury-time with a fantastic pass and shortly after the interval scored himself after build-up play by Denilson and Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Togo international also created van Persie's second with 25 minutes left.
