Theo Walcott Refuses To Celebrate After Scoring For Southampton Against Arsenal
Theo Walcott did not celebrate after scoring for Southampton against former club Arsenal on Friday night.
Walcott, who netted 108 goals in 397 appearances for the Gunners between 2006 and 2018, produced a composed first-time finish to put the Saints 2-0 up at the Emirates Stadium.
The 34-year-old's goal arrived in the 14th minute and was assisted by Carlos Alcaraz, who had earlier opened the scoring inside 30 seconds following a mistake by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.

This was not the first time that Walcott had scored against Arsenal since leaving the club.
He was also on target at the Emirates Stadium in December 2020 when Southampton earned a 1-1 draw in north London.
Friday's game ended level too, after Arsenal fought back to claim a 3-3 tie.
