Walcott could escape FA punishment

Theo Walcott looks likely to escape any punishment from the Football Association for his gesture towards Tottenham fans during Saturday’s FA Cup third-round tie between the two north London rivals.

Arsenal won 2-0 and, when the England international was being stretchered off after sustaining a knee injury, he was carried in front of the travelling Spurs fans, with some seemingly throwing coins and plastic bottles towards the 24-year-old.
