Arsenal forward Theo Walcott poses alongside Serbian riot police after Olivier Giroud secures Europa League victory over Red Star Belgrade

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott posed alongside Serbian riot police on Thursday night, crediting them with ensuring his side were 'well looked after' during their win over Red Star Belgrade.

Olivier Giroud's goal five minutes from time secured victory for Arsene Wenger's side and maintained their 100 per cent record in this season's competition.

Walcott played a key role in the decisive goal, laying the ball off for Giroud to finish with an acrobatic overhead kick.
