Theo Walcott has predicted that Europe's top teams will be "scared" to play Arsenal after their 5-2 drubbing of Fenerbahce.


Emmanuel Adebayor, Walcott, Abou Diaby, Alex Song and Aaron Ramsey were all on the scoresheet as the Gunners produced a stunning performance in Turkey to pretty much book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League.


"All the teams in Europe will look and see the 5-2 win by Arsenal, away and with a young team, and I think they will be scared to play us," Walcott told the Evening Standard.


"That's the impression we want to give out to all the other teams. We do that and we have always got them on the back foot and hopefully we can just keep performing like that.


"It was absolutely brilliant. The main thing was getting the three points and everyone got their jobs right today. We scored five goals and it was nice to see us taking our chances.


"We knew their fans would be right behind them. But we quietened them down straight away by scoring two very early goals - it was a brilliant performance."
