Arsenal registered their first win of the Champions League campaign as they eased to a win over Basel.

The tie was more or less over by half-time as in form Theo Walcott struck a first half brace.

Former England international Michael Owen took to Twitter to praise the forward.

Arsenal continued right where they left off after beating Chelsea 3-0 at the weekend, blitzing the Blues in the first half with a combination of pace and power.

Basel too were unable to live with them, and now have only one point from two group games.

Arsenal are up to four points, having earned a draw away to Paris Saint-Germain in their previous match.

Walcott has scored three times in six Premier League starts, and in all competitions has nearly matched his total of seven last season, currently on five.
