#4 Quiet return for Walcott

Arsenal v Everton - Premier League
Theo Walcott didn't have much to shout about on his return to Arsenal.

With manager Allardyce leaving forwards Wayne Rooney and Cenk Tosun on the bench, Theo Walcott was unsurprisingly Everton's biggest hope of a good performance against the Gunners.

The winger returned to the Emirates for the first time ever since a move to Goodison Park rumoured to be worth £20 million, however, couldn't make the impact he would've desired, as Arsenal's brilliance kept him and his fellow attackers largely quiet.

The only significant piece of action he was involved in came in the first half when he was sent through on goal and could've scored had it not been for a strong recovery tackle from Arsenal's Mustafi.

Walcott was brought off on the hour mark, receiving an enjoyable personal moment as he walked off with both sets of fans and indeed some of his former teammates applauding him. The Englishman will be keen to return to the form that helped him net two goals on debut for his new side, in the coming games.
