Theo Walcott: 'Arsenal want to keep hold of the FA Cup'

Walcott: 'We want to keep the FA Cup'

Arsenal attacker Theo Walcott has set his sights on helping the club to FA Cup glory for the third consecutive season.

The Gunners are bidding to become the first team to win the trophy three years in a row since the 1880s, and took another step towards that goal with a 4-0 victory over Hull City in their fifth-round replay this evening - a match which saw Walcott score twice.

The result was marred by Per Mertesacker, Gabriel Paulista and Aaron Ramsey all being forced off through injury, but Walcott was pleased with the performance overall.

"Thankfully it all went well for us. The only disappointing thing is the injuries. It was all about getting through and that is what we have done. We want to keep hold of the FA Cup," he told BT Sport.

Arsenal will now face Watford in the quarter-finals this weekend.
