Ashley Young tears into Arsenal stars for celebrating "like they won the league"

Ashley Young has slammed Arsenal players for celebrating "like they won the league" after they secured a narrow victory over Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners won 1-0 at Villa Park thanks to Bukayo Saka 's snapshot in the first half to cement their place in the top four of the Premier League table. Clear-cut chances were few and far between throughout a cagey affair with Arsenal managing three shots on target and their hosts registering just one.

While Young admitted Villa's lack of attacking threat was "disappointing" in a blunt post-match assessment, he took issue with the boisterous nature of the visitors' celebrations. Mikel Arteta and his players were toasted with a Champions League-related chant from a joyous away end as they paid tribute to the travelling fans after the match.
