Theo Walcott has described his on-field chemistry with Arsenal teammate Alexis Sanchez as "strong" and believes the Gunners are finally moving into top gear.
Walcott scored two goals, both of which were set up by Sanchez, as Arsenal beat Basel 2-0 in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The duo's performances came just days after they starred for the Gunners against Chelsea in the Premier League, and speaking about his on-field chemistry with Sanchez, Walcott told Arsenal's official website: "It’s getting a good sort of partnership there, but it’s not just that, the whole team seems to be clicking.
"Me and Hector [Bellerin] have got a good relationship on that right-hand side, it’s quite a pacy right-hand side.
"I think the whole team tends to react well and defend well as a unit and clean sheets are going to win games because we’re going to score plenty of goals.
"That combination between me and Alexis, it’s boding well but it’s obviously still very early into the season, so hopefully we can all stay fit and it’s going to be a good run."
He added: "We seem to sort of know when we play off each other quite well. If he comes short, I go long and we’ve just got a good sort of combinations.
"The whole team has tended to play very well together, and when we lose the ball everyone tries to be first to get it back. That starts from Alexis at the top and he sets the pace for us all, and it seems to be clicking at this moment in time."
