Vito Mannone and Theo Walcott were best friends at Arsenal…
Arsenal star Theo Walcott was snapped with Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone at the weekend, as the Gunners beat the Italian’s new club 3-1 at the Stadium of Light.
Mannone and Walcott were good friends when the goalkeeper played for the Emirates club, but he left during the summer to join Paulo Di Canio’s struggling Sunderland side.
The Walcott, the English winger/forward, missed a succession of guilt-edged chances laid on to him by brilliant new playmaker Mesut Ozil, but he will be delighted with his side’s Premier League recovery following their opening day defeat to Aston Villa.
