William Gallas gives take on Arsenal celebration police
Former Arsenal star William Gallas has thrown his support behind the Gunners players after Jamie Carragher criticised Martin Odegaard's post-match celebrations against Liverpool.
Speaking to Genting Casino, he said: “I think the players had a lot of pressure on their shoulders before that game.
"That game was very important for them because they knew they had to fight for the title. I think had they lost against Liverpool yesterday, then they would have been out of the title race.
"When you are under pressure, it’s never easy to go on the pitch, it requires so much focus and concentration.
“When you win a game like this, the emotions come out and you have to celebrate after the match. I don’t know how long they stayed on the pitch after the game but the title race is still on and there’s another 15 games left in the season.
"You have to be sure at the end of the season that you will be champions otherwise people, especially fans, will jump on you!
“If Carragher wasn’t happy with Arsenal players celebrating after the game, if Liverpool win the Premier League, I’m sure Carragher will make jokes about the celebrations from yesterday’s game. Arsenal have to play every game like they did against Liverpool!"
