Walcott Plays Down Critics, Says Ozil Is a Fantastic Player

Theo Walcott says there is nothing that can keep Mesut Ozil down after the Arsenal playmaker returned to form with a bang against West Ham.

Arsenal went into Wednesday's clash at Emirates Stadium having won just one of their last six Premier League games, but second-half goals from Ozil, Walcott and Olivier Giroud got them back on track.

The Germany international also registered an assist, making it only the second top-flight game in which he has scored and set up a team-mate this season – the other being the reverse fixture against West Ham, which the Gunners won 5-1 in December.

Ozil's performance came after he had felt unfairly criticised following the Champions League last-16 exit to Bayern Munich, but Walcott was in no doubt he would bounce back.

"Goals always breed confidence in players, but Mesut is a fantastic player," said Walcott.

"He has played for Real Madrid, is a World Cup winner and has been through a lot of ups and downs – so there is nothing he can't come back from.

"He has put his head down, worked hard in training and the rewards showed against West Ham."
