Southampton goalscorer Nathan Tella is proud sharing a pitch with Theo Walcott.

Tella scoured and laid on an assist for Walcott in victory over Fulham on Saturday.

"He's someone I looked up to when I was young, and signing my scholarship I was looking at him and the way he plays and I wanted to have a career like him," said Tella.

"The fact I've been able to share a pitch with him numerous times this season has been a great feeling, and to get an assist for him was a great feeling."

Tella's assist came on 82 minutes, after Fulham had cut Saints' lead to a single goal, with his clever back-heel setting up Walcott for a finish from 18 yards.
