Oxlade-Chamberlain keen to repay support

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has vowed to repay the Arsenal fans for their support during his Premier League debut on Sunday.

The promising youngster impressed during the Gunners' 2-1 loss to Manchester United yesterday and was awarded a standing ovation on his departure from the pitch.

"It's nice when you know the crowd are on your side," said Oxlade-Chamberlain.

"I can only repay them by working my hardest when I do get on and trying to impress them.

"But, ultimately, it's putting a shift in for the lads for the club and for the manager. So I'll continue to do that when I'm playing."

Chamberlain joined Arsenal from Southampton in the summer.
