If you want drama then the Emirates Stadium is the place to be because Arsenal have been writing and playing out some seriously entertaining scripts this season.
Well, another drama-filled chapter was acted out on Wednesday night as Theo Walcott returned to Arsenal to score against his former side.
Leading up to last night’s game, Mikel Arteta’s men were hovering above the relegation zone and they had lost four games on the bounce on home soil.
Only one thing was going to happen when a certain Walcott showed up with Southampton…
A number of Arsenal fans couldn’t believe their eyes as Walcott opened the scoring and then was fouled by Gabriel in the second half, which resulted in their man getting sent off.
During his time in North London, Walcott was a marmite-like figure with the fans, but it’s fair to say that they were impressed with what he produced against them.
Usually, they have been used to the speedster bursting through on goal and fluffing his chances. But not this time, as he dinked the ball over Bernd Leno in a beautiful manner.
Those currently frustrated Arsenal supporters believe the Everton loanee, who moved to Goodison Park for £20 million in 2018 [BBC Sport], was a threat all night.
In the end, Arteta stopped the rot. But for how long will he be on that touchline?
Here is a selection of Arsenal fans reacting to Walcott’s performance from last night:
