Oxlade-Chamberlain eager to impress

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain vowed to give Arsenal supporters more to cheer about after emerging from his full Barclays Premier League debut as a new fans favourite.

Chamberlain's performance was one of few positives for the Gunners after Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United, with the Emirates Stadium crowd mesmerised by his pace and trickery. And they were up in arms when manager Arsenal Wenger replaced the 18-year-old with the increasingly-unpopular Andrey Arshavin 16 minutes from time.

"It's nice when you know the crowd are on your side," said Oxlade-Chamberlain, who joined Arsenal from Southampton this summer.
