Sutton slams Arsenal for ‘celebrating like they’ve won the league’ in West Ham win

Chris Sutton has criticised Arsenal for “celebrating like they’ve won the league” after their 2-1 victory over West Ham on Sunday.

Rob Holding and Gabriel struck either side of a Jarrod Bowen equaliser as the Gunners remained in the driving seat to claim fourth place.

Tottenham had beaten Leicester City 3-1 earlier in the day but Arsenal responded brilliantly to maintain a two-point cushion on Antonio Conte’s side.

Speaking earlier this season, Mikel Arteta revealed how he encourages his Arsenal side to celebrate every victory.

He said: “I encourage them to celebrate every victory. Because you can tell how difficult it is in this game to win football matches.

“Our supporters are the same, every time we win we should celebrate because when you lose or draw you know the faces are always (sad).”

After the match against West Ham, Arteta insisted that he was relieved to win “ugly” as they won their third Premier League
