Arsenal assistant coach Pat Rice believes Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is capable of breaking into
the England team this season after the former Southampton youngster impressed on his Champions
League debut against Olympiakos last night.
Oxlade-Chamberlain completed his switch from the Championship side to Arsenal this summer and
more than held his own against the Greek Champions, finding the net to become the youngest ever
Englishman to score in Europen football's leading club competition.

An early first-half double from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and fellow summer-signing Andre Santos
was enough to earn Arsenal a win over Olympiakos at the Emirates last night and subsequently pick
up the first victory of their Group F campaign.
Oxlade-Chamberlian opened the scoring in the 8th-minute, playing a slick one-two off a
defender's knees before cutting a low shot back across goal through his marker's legs and into the
far corner - thus becoming the youngest ever English Champions League goalscorer in the
process.
