Arsenal's Walcott: Adebayor goal among Champions League best ever

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott hailed teammate Emmanuel Adebayor after his spectacular equaliser at Villarreal last night.

Walcott feels while the "job is not yet done", Arsenal can take heart from a fighting display which was capped by a moment of genius from Adebayor.

"It was probably one of the best goals I have seen in the Champions League, a special goal from a special player," Walcott said.

"Hopefully that can spur us on into the next round. It was a great show of character from all the young players. We played some brilliant football as well.

"However, the job is not yet done. They are a very dangerous team on the break, they pass the ball very well and Senna has got a brilliant shot on him, so we have got to track him down and not let him have those situations again."
