McLeish questions Walcott goal
Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish questions Theo Walcott's goal during Arsenal's 3-2 FA Cup win at the Emirates Stadium.

Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish has questioned Theo Walcott's goal during Arsenal's 3-2 FA Cup fourth round win at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners came back from 2-0 down at half time to book their place in the fifth round.

After Robin van Persie's penalty, Walcott found the net when the ball bounced off him from Alan Hutton's clearance. Another Van Persie spot kick minutes later sealed a memorable fightback from Arsenal.

"We still had chances in the second half to get at least a draw," said McLeish. "But it was a terrible eight minutes. I thought the second goal was very harsh - Theo Walcott put the ball in with his arm."

Villa host Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League on Wednesday.
