Arsenal lost their first Premier League game since the opening day of the season after losing to Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park on Tuesday.
The Gunners took the lead early on, as Sanchez’s deflected free-kick gave them the lead after a dominant opening 20 minutes, but Seamus Coleman headed home just before the break to regain parity for the hosts.
Neither side mustered any golden chances for most of the second half until Ashley Williams headed home a winner from Ross Barkley’s corner four minutes from time to hand Everton their first victory since October.
The North London club’s title credentials will be questioned again after they were defeated in a game where they had control of the result. Wenger’s team did not react positively to Everton’s fight and aggression, and they rolled over too easily.
There were poor performances from the whole team, but Walcott did stand out among them. He did nothing and was outplayed by Hector Bellerin in the attack, with the Spaniard not even being at his best.
Here are some of the reactions on Twitter:

How does Walcott keep making the starting lineup? He doesn't even belong on the bench. #arsenal #walcott

They both were really poor

Hope Theo Walcott's coffee machine doesn't work and he's lost the receipt.

#afc marking poor. Undeniably missed Mustafi but not had a clean sheet in 12 now (all comps). In attack, Ozil/Walcott/Ox disappointing.

Wenger should have started with Iwobi/Perez
Walcott has been shocking, Get Perez or Iwobi on.

It's just a shame after every poor performance it's the same reasons, Ox and Walcott are not good enough

Long been tired of a lot of things Wenger says and does non more so than his ever present stubborness to rate Theo Walcott as any use at all

LOL
If you tell me Theo Walcott played tonight. I'll honestly have to take your word for it. HONESTLY.
