Wenger making no exceptions for Arsenal hat-trick hero Walcott

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says Theo Walcott gets no special exceptions ahead of the FA Cup final.

The 26-year old forward scored a hat-trick in the Gunners' 4-1 win over West Bromwich Albion on the last day of the Premier League season on Sunday but that does not make him an automatic selection for Saturday's cup final against Aston Villa.

"Theo has shown that he is back in good form but that's normal. I said that before last week's game," said Wenger.

"What is important is that we do not make too many individual cases before the cup final."
