Arsenal ace Walcott plays down clash with Burnley fullback Fox

Arsenal winger Theo Walcott played down his clash with Burnley fullback Daniel Fox during Saturday's win.

Walcott confronted Fox after a sliding challenge during the first half, with memories of Aaron Ramsey's broken leg last weekend at Stoke still fresh in the Arsenal players' minds.

The Arsenal forward, though, revealed there were no lasting ill feeling.

"At times it is difficult to focus after seeing Aaron injured like that," he said. "In the game, there was a challenge on me and I probably overreacted.

"That was because of past events. In the heat of the moment, I just showed my emotions.

"We have had a lot of injuries this season, myself included, and we want to do it for all the injured players - especially Aaron."
