This week in...2008
Substitute Theo Walcott inspired Arsenal as they came from behind to beat Everton 3-1 at Emirates.
Leon Osman gave the Toffees a ninth minute lead against an out of sorts Gunners but that all changed following Walcott's second half introduction.
Samir Nasri and Robin van Persie made it 2-1 before Walcott added a deserved third in injury time.
Arsene Wenger, who recently described Lionel Messi as a ''Ferrari' smiled: "I don't want to make any advert for any car - but Theo's a turbo!
"I will say this; Theo made a big impact."
Walcott was also happy. He added: "I just love playing football for this club and continue to do so. There's a lot of togetherness here.''
