Arsenal’s celebrations following on Saturday were “embarrassing” and “disrespectful” to Fulham, according to Richard Keys, who has strengthened his opinion on the topic.
Keys sparked an online backlash on Saturday evening after claiming on beIN SPORTS that Arsenal had “over-celebrated” their 2-1 win over Fulham. The Gunners came from behind, following Aleksandar Mitrovic’s goal, to secure a fourth straight league win thanks to goals from Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Magalhaes.
The full-time whistle was met with joyous scenes at the Emirates Stadium, where Mikel Arteta, his players and the Arsenal fans enjoyed the fact they had reclaimed top spot in the Premier League. Their behaviour immediately sparked a debate on Twitter, with Keys and his punditry partner Andy Gray laying into Arsenal for what they saw as premature jubilation.
