‘Go to church’, Mikel Arteta tells critics of Arsenal victory celebrations | Arsenal

Mikel Arteta has hit back at criticism of the celebrations that followed Arsenal’s dramatic comeback against Bournemouth last Saturday, saying anyone taking a dim view would find their time better spent in church than inside a football stadium.

The Football Association investigated the aftermath of Reiss Nelson’s 97th-minute winner, after which members of Arsenal’s bench cascaded on to the Emirates pitch to celebrate with the players, but opted not to take the matter further.
