Arsenal's Theo Walcott targets Premier League action after stalemate

Walcott moves on from Marseille clash

Arsenal striker Theo Walcott has expressed his disappointment in failing to get a result against Marseille in the Champions League last night, but insists that the Gunners need to focus on the next game.

The North London side were held at the Emirates in a stalemate 0-0 draw in Group F of the European competition.

Despite gaining a point, the Gunners could have secured a place in the final 16 with a win against the French side.

"We were able to keep a clean sheet, but our strikers didn't manage to get it in that net this time," said Walcott. "But it is a point and looking forward to the weekend now is all we can do.

"Saturday did take a lot out of us, but we know what to expect in the Champions League. We play every week now.

"[Marseille] are a very strong team. We found it quite tough out there as well. But, again, like I said before, we were very strong at the back."

The Gunners take on West Bromwich Albion at the Emirates this Saturday.
