Graeme Souness and Simon Jordan agree that Arsenal’s celebrations towards Fulham on Saturday had been an excessive amount of.
Mikel Arteta’s side got here again from 1-0 right down to beat their London rivals 2-1 within the closing minutes of their Premier League conflict on the Emirates.
Gabriel – who made the error that allowed the Cottagers to take the lead – scored the winner, securing the membership’s fourth win in as many video games and sending the Arsenal trustworthy right into a frenzy.
However following the match, beIN Sport presenters Richard Keys and Andy Gray rapidly turned the subject of dialog after they criticised the jubilant scenes in north London.
The pair’s view divided opinions, with talkSPORT’s Breakfast host and Arsenal fan Laura Woods disagreeing with them and labelling them ‘the celebration police’.
Nevertheless, for talkSPORT’s Souness and Jordan, while they understood Arsenal’s pleasure within the second, in the end they each believed Keys and Grey’s criticism of the celebrations was spot on.
“You win, you’re delighted. If you win from coming from behind then you definitely’re much more delighted, there’s a component of that,” Souness stated on Monday’s White and Jordan present.
“Wealthy and Andy are appropriate, they’ve received nothing, it’s simply one other step in the best course.
“We come again to it, their huge exams [against Liverpool and Manchester City] are all forward of them.”
Jordan then expressed he agreed with Souness, and highlighted that the celebrations could actually be damaging for the ambitions of the club.
“You’re celebrating mediocrity. You’ve won a game,” the former Crystal Palace chairman said.
“For god’s sake what are you going to do if you actually win something? How far do you go then, what do you do then? Is everyone going to strip butt naked and run around the pitch in laps and celebrate for a week and a half?”
He continued: “In the moment, yes. But after the game, get on with the next one. Next. Next. Next.”
