Champions League Hat-trick hero

It was a night of milestones for Danny Welbeck at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday. The 23-year-old scored his first professional hat-trick in Arsenal's 4-1 win over Galatasaray and in the process joined a select band of just five other Englishman to have done so in the Champions League.  Welbeck's superb treble sees him emulate the likes of Alan Shearer, Wayne Rooney and Michael Owen, suggesting Louis van Gaal may have been wrong after all to let the striker, born and bred in Longsight, leave his boyhood club United on transfer deadline day.
