Arsenal have encountered more problems with the Celebration Police this season as Detectives Neville and Keane have taken over the case from Sergeant Keys.
But is there cause for prosecution when it comes to those emotional Gunners? Let’s see how they have marked every single one of their goals in the 2023/24 season to find out.Saka calmly dispatches a penalty won by Fabio Vieira, sending Bernd Leno the wrong way in the process and equalising in the 70th minute.
The result has already long since been established so there is little jeopardy in terms of over-celebration. There is a slight margin for elaboration with it being Arsenal’s first Champions League game in six years and Odegaard’s first goal in the competition on his third start, as well as it underlining the sheer gulf in quality between the Premier League runners-up and Dutch champions.
The striker gently jogs away with outstretched arms before pointing a few times at the ground. It is a little too flamboyant in truth but it being Arsenal’s first goal of the season – when spirits were high, the positivity was tangible and no-one particularly cared what the back-up keeper made of it all – affords Nketiah more leeway than usual. Just don’t make a habit of it.
Those two clearly have work to do to contain themselves but Selhurst Park is a tough place to go – even if the actual numbers suggest otherwise – so they can have this one. But honestly, rein it in a little.Trossard’s cross finds Jesus at the back post; the Brazilian controls the ball and fires it high into the far top corner to make it 3-0.
This is basic stuff. There’s tempting fate and then there’s this. Throwing a pretend dart at the camera after scoring at home against Spurs with more than an hour to play? There’s a despicable element of pre-planning to it, but also an indefensible implication: that Saka is friends, or at least friendly, with one of their most bitter enemy’s stars.
Odegaard is the voice of reason. Much better from him, this. The Norwegian comes over with arms outstretched to let all three of his teammates know it’s okay to have these feelings, that it’s healthy to let it out instead of bottling things up, that they should stop listening to Andrew Tate and Laurence Fox. There is no place for such toxic masculinity in 2023.
Odegaard only takes a few moments to bask in the glory before issuing his teammates back to resume play. He is the one being let down for once here.A delightful individual effort from Saka as he cuts inside and curls one into the top corner to make it 2-0 in the 32nd minute. Completing a deserved comeback at home means Arsenal have to be cut some slack here if necessary. But actually Nketiah is fairly cool in the circumstances, pointing to his right and then left ear to signify something presumably incredibly poignant, as every teammate runs over to join him.
The opponent and occasion requires something grander than a couple of fist bumps. That much is clear. Rice sprints away, knee slides because obviously, and then leads his teammates in being slowly consumed by the delirious fans in that particular corner of the stadium. Knee slide. Box ticked. Feels like the kind of thing a talkSPORT pundit on a quiet day will eventually complain could cause serious injury but it’s clearly something being worked on at London Colney and it sums up this sorry club.
