Don`t build up Walcott hype - Wenger
Arsene Wenger hailed Theo Walcott's vital contribution as Arsenal rescued a late point - but he urged fans to keep their expectations in check.
Walcott made his Premiership debut as a substitute, just weeks after returning from his non-playing role in England's World Cup squad.
The 17-year-old made an instant impact and helped set up Gilberto's late equaliser in the 1-1 draw against Aston Villa. But Wenger said: "There are positives and negatives in being picked by the national team at such a young age. The negatives are that everyone expects such a lot from someone at an age where, if he comes on in the first team, everyone should be happy if he just gives a good pass."
