The Everton winger wished his former club well for the season ahead.

His tweet read: “Great performance from the lads and our fans today! Happy to get my first goal of the campaign as well. Good luck to my old club @SouthamptonFC for the rest of the season”.

The fans would have been delighted with Walcott’s match-winning display anyway but his classy gesture towards Southampton will further endear him to the fans.
