Rio Ferdinand criticizes Mikel Arteta for his exuberant celebration following Arsenal’s third goal in their 3-1 victory over Liverpool on Sunday (February 4).

Speaking on his Vibe With Five podcast, Ferdinand expressed astonishment at Arteta’s jubilant laps around the Emirates Stadium during the triumph over the Reds. He remarked that the celebration made it seem as if Arsenal had clinched the league title. The Manchester United legend stated via Metro:

Mikel Arteta

“I thought Arsenal won the league the way your man was celebrating! Your manager’s doing laps [of the stadium]! Your manager has done his 10,000 steps today with them laps around the ground after they won! What’s this about?”
Ferdinand labeled the Gunners as ‘deluded’ and believes they should be more concerned about Manchester City, who have two games in hand.

“No. No, no, no. I didn’t feel that. The celebrations that I saw didn’t correlate with what I felt about the outcome of what this game meant. It felt like you guys [think you] are on to win the league now, what I saw. Deluded. Deluded FC. You’re deluded. You shouldn’t even be worrying about Liverpool, It’s Man City you should be worrying about! Two games in hand.”

With Sunday’s win, the Gunners closed the gap on Liverpool at the top of the league to two points. However, Manchester City can leapfrog into second place if they defeat Brentford on Monday night.
