Arsenal have been accused of «over celebrating» during their draw with north London rivals Tottenham at the weekend. It comes as the Gunners dropped points for the second time this season, seeing them move four points behind league leaders Manchester City.
After the title challenge last season, which came so close but narrowly missed out on victory, Mikel Arteta would've been hopeful this campaign would be different. There was a vulnerability to the north Londoners that saw them collapse in games towards the end, but roughly £200million spent in the summer looked to combat that.
Victories over Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, Manchester United and Everton weren't pretty, but got their campaign off to a decent start. A draw against Fulham was the only blemish heading into the North London Derby, with Tottenham going into it in the same form.
A Cristian Romero own goal followed by a Bukayo Saka penalty saw the Gunners take the lead twice, either side of Son Heung-min's brace. It was the latter goal for Arsenal which stirred some discussion as the strike saw the whole team celebrate with the fans, only to concede roughly one minute later.
It led to accusations over possible over celebrations during such a big match, with the match far from over when they took the lead the second time. It was a point of discussion for the likes of Roy Keane, Jill Scott, Ian Wright, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher on their new show "Stick to Football", part of Sky Sports' The Overlap.
