To mark Theo Walcott's 10th anniversary with Arsenal on Wednesday, we look back to his first goal for the club against Chelsea

Theo Walcott marks 10 years at Arsenal on Wednesday and to mark the occasion we take a look back at his first goal for the club.

The future England international moved to North London from Southampton for an initial £5m, rising to £12m based on appearances and progression with the national side.

Although he arrived aged only 16, he played in the League Cup final in Cardiff just over a year later and scored Arsenal's goal in their 2-1 defeat to Chelsea.

It was the first of 81 goals in all competitions for the club to date in 326 appearances so far - and he's still only 26!
