Theo Walcott suggests he played with someone at Arsenal who was just like Rayan Cherki

Manchester City sit top of the Premier League, three points above Arsenal, despite being found guilty of 114 financial charges. It made Sunday’s game between Man City and Liverpool awkward viewing, not just for Gunners fans but football fans in general.

That awkwardness was exacerbated by the fact that City battered Andoni Iraola’s side 3-0 after a contentious decision to send Ryan Gravenberch off changed the flow of the game.

Theo Walcott acknowledged as much before picking Rayan Cherki’s goal against Liverpool as his Premier League goal of the week. Speaking on his TikTok , the former Arsenal forward made a point of separating the finish from everything else looming over the club, before comparing Cherki to a former teammate of his.
