Jose Mourinho's hilarious response to Arsenal 'celebration police' saga

Jose Mourinho has seen the lighter side of Arsenal's 'celebration police' row over the last week, taking to social media to joke about his own antics.

Arsenal were intensely criticised by Sky Sports pundits for their celebrations after beating Liverpool 3-1 last Sunday. The result took the Gunners to two points of the Premier League leaders and kept their title hopes alive.

Points of contention included Martin Odegaard taking pictures with the club photographer's camera and manager Mikel Arteta's exuberant reaction to Arsenal's third goal.

For the most part, Arsenal have been defended from various corners of the footballing community over their antics — even Tottenham Hotspur head coach Ange Postecoglou came out to bat for them.

Mourinho, who managed three of Arsenal's rivals in Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs, has also implied he is siding with the Gunners on the issue, taking to Instagram to show how much he loved an anger-inducing celebration.
