Arsenal's Theo Walcott is now the proud owner of a Guinness World Record - for controlling a football falling from a ridiculously high height.

The Gunners striker was joined by team-mates Laurent Koscielny, Nacho Monreal and Francis Coquelin as the four players attempted the Betfair Ultimate Cash Out Control challenge at the north London club's training ground.

All four were given the task of controlling the ball five times before it touches the ground after being dropped from crane positioned at a height of 34 meters.

The previous record was 32 meters, and after the first three players failed, it didn't look as though any record would be broken.

However, they didn't bank on Captain Walcott saving the day:

Now, we're the first to admit we've given Theo a bit of a tough time about his attributes in the past but, credit where it's due, this is pretty impressive.

Well played, Theo. Well played.
