Theo Walcott ended his own Premier League drought this afternoon against Spurs – and the Everton striker’s celebration was loved by fans of his former club Arsenal.
The England international went into today’s clash at Goodison Park having failed to score in his previous 14 Prem appearances – the longest run he’s went without getting on the scoresheet since he was a teenager.

His career at Arsenal might’ve fizzled out but Walcott always enjoyed sticking the ball into the back of the net against their North London rivals Totteham and today was no different.
After prodding home a cross from Calvert-Lewin, Walcott dropped to his knees and even looked close to tears in the aftermath.
We’re guessing there’s a much more personal reason for the celebration but Gooners reckon it’s purely because he’s still a Red at heart:
Once a Gunner, always a Gunner . Thanks @theowalcott

Do you reckon Walcott could still do a job for Arsenal, and are his England days over at the age of 29?
