Gary Neville criticises Arsenal for 'desperate' celebrations amid fresh Man City title verdict

Gary Neville has provided more clarity on why he thinks Manchester City will win the Premier League title and how Arsenal's "desperate" celebrations could cost them. The Gunners secured a dramatic late win against Aston Villa to end a barren run of four games without a victory and Mikel Arteta's men have followed up that triumph with another two commanding victories.

After conceding two against Villa, Arsenal have looked far more assured defensively in recent outings keeping back-to-back clean sheets against Leicester and Everton. Heading back to the victory in the Midlands, a late Emi Martinez own goal sparked bedlum in the away end and on the pitch for the Arsenal stars.

However, to Neville, those celebrations were a little over the top. Speaking to The Overlap, via Metro, Neville admitted: "We have this little [WhatsApp] group on Sky and obviously they know that I’ve nailed my colours to the mast that City are going to win the league and I’ve been getting a lot of stick from Arsenal fans.
