After Crystal Palace Defeat, Walcott Apologises To Arsenal Fans

Theo Walcott has apologised to Arsenal fans for their performance at Crystal Palace, insisting this is not us. Palace romped to a 3-0 victory at Selhurst Park on Monday Night Football, leaving the Gunners seven points off fourth-placed Manchester City, albeit with a game in hand.

It was Arsenal's fourth Premier League defeat on the trot, and Walcott said the team need to respond with hard work.

He said “The biggest thing would be letting the fans down tonight, that's not Arsenal at all. We bounced back well against Man City at home and West Ham, and tonight is not us. We're very down in that dressing room and we've let the fans down too. We need to respond, and that's only going to come from hard work on and bring it through to Monday.”
