More to come from Alexis - Walcott

Theo Walcott thinks a weight will have been lifted off
Alexis Sanchez's shoulders after his hat-trick in
Arsenal's 5-2 win over Leicester.

Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott expects Alexis Sanchez to
flourish in the weeks to come after he opened his account for
2015-16 in the 5-2 Premier League win over Leicester City on
Saturday.

The Chile international had failed to score in eight appearances
in all competitions until his hat-trick against Leicester and
Walcott expects more goals from his team-mate over the next
few weeks.

"Alexis is a top-quality player and even when he is not scoring
goals he works so hard for us. He tracks back and does a lot for
the team," Walcott told the official Arsenal website.

"I am sure he going to flourish now with many, many more
important goals.

"It had been a long time coming, he knew that himself. But he is
very pleased now."

Walcott was impressive in Arsenal's win at the King Power
Stadium, too, as he netted once and looked dangerous
throughout the game, and he was delighted with his own
contribution.

"It was one of my best performances since the knee injury and,
before that, the Tottenham game," he said.

"I have always said I want to play up front. When I get the
opportunity I can improve and learn the position a little more.

"The manager has had faith in me and I just want to repay him."
