‘Like they’d won the Champions League’ – Arsenal slammed for ‘over celebrating’ following Aston Villa win by Agbonlahor
ARSENAL have been slammed for celebrating their win over Aston Villa ‘like they’d won the Champions League’ by Gabby Agbonlahor.
The Gunners secured a 1-0 win at Villa Park on Saturday courtesy of Bukayo Saka.
The victory sealed another three points for Mikel Arteta’s side as they inched closer to securing Champions League football next term.
And after the hard-fought victory, they celebrated enthusiastically as Gabriel fell to his knees and the players swarmed around goalkeeper Bernd Leno.
And that was all before the party continued in front of the travelling away supporters.
Villa’s Ashley Young hit out at the celebratory scenes afterwards and said: “You saw the way they celebrated, to be honest it was like they won the league.”

And former Villa and England international Agbonlahor echoed Young’s sentiment on talkSPORT earlier today.
He said: “The way they celebrated at the end of the game, it was like they’d won the Champions League, not qualified for it.
“I know it was a great result but the scenes and the players… we were right behind the fans.
“It was like they’d won the league, not beaten Aston Villa, a team that they should be beating.

“I think they overdid the celebrations.”
Those remarks come just a few weeks after Ruben Neves hit out at how Arsenal enjoyed their 1-0 win against Wolves.
The Gunners sit four points ahead of fifth-placed Manchester United in fourth with a game in hand and ten more to play.
