Theo Walcott stole the show as Arsenal sauntered to their first Champions League win of the season. Picking up where he left off against Chelsea, Walcott put Basel to the sword with two first-half goals amid one of his finest Arsenal displays. Walcott, 27, confirmed on the eve of this routine 2-0 victory over a limited Basel here at the Emirates that he just wishes he had seen the light earlier in his career. Last season he only started one of Arsenal’s last 14 games. He has started all but one this and now has five goals to his name after scoring the two goals against the Basel.
Arsenal has now gone eight matches unbeaten in all competitions and are now joint leaders with PSG who was victorious over Ludogorets in the Group A table
Cazorla's lofted pass picked out the run into the left channel by Sanchez, who produced a slick cross that left Walcott with the simple task of nodding the ball into the net from close range and he added a second with a low drive after a smooth one-two with Sanchez.

The Basel kept the score still with god saves from Bellerin, Ozil, Montreal and Sanchez. The score could have been anything at half-time and, although the tempo dropped after the break, this was still an emphatic Arsenal victory.
With such ability and mobility that Arsenal seemed to have put in this season, they could go a long way in Europe.
