Theo Walcott seemingly aimed a dig at Everton boss Sam Allardyce after his side's win over Newcastle.
Walcott scored the only goal of the game at Goodison Park as Everton climbed to eighth in the Premier League table with a 1-0 win.
The 29-year-old was asked about the difference between former boss Arsene Wenger and Sam Allardyce after the clash.
Arsenal chief Wenger has decided to walk away at the end of the season and Walcott lavished praise on the Frenchman.
"They’re on completely different levels of the way they manage. I think everyone can tell that," Walcott said on Sky Sports.

"Arsene is a fantastic man, a fantastic manager.
"I can’t thank him enough for what he did for me at such a young age to have that faith in me.
"Now I’m here with Sam and again he’s shown so much faith in me. I just want to repay that to him personally and this team. I want to work hard. The team and myself worked really hard tonight."

The win did little to ease the pressure on Allardyce as Everton fans made their feelings clear.
Supporters unveiled a banner reading 'Our survey says... Get out of our club' following the controversial incident last week where they were asked to vote on Allardyce.
