Walcott hails Welbeck

Theo Walcott says Danny Welbeck's goal in England's 3-2 win over Sweden on Friday proves he can perform at the highest level.



Welbeck was selected for Roy Hodgson's squad on the back on an impressive Premier League season with Manchester United and has looked good at Euro 2012, scoring the winner against the Swedes to back up a strong showing against France on Monday.



However, with Red Devils team-mate Wayne Rooney back and available for Tuesday's crunch match against co-hosts Ukraine, it's been rumoured the youngster could be dropped from the starting side.



Walcott believes this would be the wrong decision and the Arsenal winger says the 21-year-old's goal against Sweden proves he can cut it on the international scene.



"That chance was massive, but Danny made it look easy," he told The Daily Telegraph. "It was class, probably one of the best goals at this tournament and I am not just saying that because he's my friend. "



That goal had everything and shows that, despite being at such a young age, he can do the business."
