It was an Arsenal old-boy however who gave them the lead as Theo Walcott slotted home after being put through by Santi Cazorla.
Goal provided turned goalscorer for the second as the Spanish maestro fired home a low shot from outside the box, and it was then Mesut Ozil who wrapped the game off after slotting home.
