Everton attacker Walcott: Ancelotti winding me up!

Everton attacker Theo Walcott admits manager Carlo Ancelotti has been winding him up about his goalscoring.

The winger scored a last-minute winner as the Blues ran out 3-2 victors against Watford on Saturday despite trailing 2-0 at one point.

And Walcott has revealed a conversation he had with his manager before the game to Goal.com.

"He came to me and said 'Theo, you do know that you're allowed to score goals, right?'

"I just had to laugh. And lo and behold I go and get my first of the season. I told him afterwards that I was just waiting for his permission!"
