Walcott trolls Tottenham in derby

Walcott was in action for Arsenal against Spurs, during an FA Cup third-round match at the Emirates Stadium on January 4, 2014.

The Gunners had taken a 2-0 lead before Walcott went down injured.

As he was being stretchered off the pitch however, Walcott lifted his hands towards the Spurs fanbase and reminded them of the scoreline.

Eight years later, he uploaded the same picture after his former team won by a similar scoreline.

One of Arsenal's current stars, Ben White copied Walcott's playbook by using the same gesture after his side's win on Sunday.

Walcott has been unlucky with injuries since leaving Arsenal, with Southampton currently last on the log with 15 points.
