Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has spoken about his performance against Arsenal last weekend. Roy Keane said this while covering the Gunners’ win over West Ham.
As Jamie Carragher’s criticism of Arsenal’s post-match celebrations in their 3-1 win over Liverpool has died down, Roy Keane has shared his thoughts. Mikel Arteta and his team celebrated on the pitch after the game, with captain Martin Odegaard borrowing a camera from club photographer Stuart MacFarlane to capture the ecstatic reaction of Arsenal fans.
Former Liverpool defender and current Sky Sports pundit Carragher expressed his displeasure at the pompous celebrations of what he saw as another victory. “Once you get in the tunnel, you win the game,” he said. “There are three points. In the title race, he was very good in the tunnel. I’ll be honest.
The former Manchester United defender’s comments sparked much debate last week. Keane expressed his position on the matter ahead of Arsenal’s game against West Ham on Sunday. The former Manchester United captain suggested the team should feel free to celebrate victories as long as they don’t lose sight of the bigger picture.
Keane said live on Sky: “I don’t get angry no matter what happens, but that’s my best nature. The team is fired up and excited and we see it every week. “Last week we saw Arsenal being criticized but now we’re seeing teams [celebrating] big results every week.”
Arsenal continued their winning ways with a 6-0 win over poor hosts West Ham. Keane added: “Yeah, celebrate and take a picture. But as we know, there is still a long way to go in this League Challenge and we cannot focus too much. We know what football does to you.
Carragher’s comments have sparked much debate, but what he ultimately meant is far from over. Arsenal beat Liverpool and thrashed West Ham 6-0 but remain third favorites in the standings. Manchester City and the Reds are still teams to beat.
