Theo Walcott justifies his selection with opening goal of the FA Cup final

It's been a tough season for Theo Walcott, who took a long time to come all the way back from the torn ACL he suffered last season. Arsene Wenger never put him back into the first team until last week, when he scored a hat trick. That was enough to get him into the side over Olivier Giroud on Saturday, and he's justified Wenger's decision by scoring the opening goal in the FA Cup final.

Arsenal lead Aston Villa 1-0 after 40 minutes, and it's well deserved. They've been well on top all game.
