Arsenal were criticized for their celebrations during Jamie Carragher’s 3-1 win over Liverpool last weekend when he joined the Gunners. Roy Keane has spoken out after Jamie Carragher criticized Arsenal’s jubilant celebrations following their 3-1 win over Liverpool.
After the match, Mikel Arteta and his team celebrated their victory on the pitch in front of the supporters. Captain Martin Odegaard took club photographer Stuart MacFarlane’s camera with him to capture the reactions of Arsenal fans.
Carragher, a former Liverpool defender and Sky Sports commentator, voiced his opposition. “Going into the tunnel won the game,” he said. “There are three points. You were great. Back in title contention, back in the tunnel. I am serious.
“The former Manchester United defender’s comments sparked conversation last week. Ahead of Sunday’s clash between Arsenal and West Ham, Roy Keane has shared his thoughts, saying he has no problem with teams celebrating victories in this way as long as they don’t cheat.
He said: “It happens and it doesn’t bother me at all, but that’s nature at its best. “The team is excited and going crazy. We see it every week. We saw Arsenal being criticized last week, but now we’re seeing teams [celebrating] big results every week.
“Yes, congratulate yourself and make sure you take a picture. But we know there is still a long way to go in this league game and we can’t focus too much. We know what football can do to you. “
