Danny Welbeck's confidence will be through the roof by the time Arsenal's match against Galatasaray finishes.

The striker, who's struggled to find the back of the net to begin his Arsenal career, already has two goals inside the game's opening half hour to give the hosts a 2-0 lead over Galatasaray at the Emirates Stadium

Welbeck's first goal came courtesy of a perfectly weighted through ball from Alexis Sanchez that left the English international open in front of goal and poked the ball through the 'keeper's legs.

Danny Welbeck!!! 1-0!

His second required a little more work as Welbeck and a defender chased down the ball in the Galatasaray end, with the Arsenal striker getting his head on it to break free on goal and put the ball past 'keeper Fernando Muslera.
