Mikel Arteta appeared to warn his players over their pointed celebrations at Erling Haaland in Arsenal's 5-1 thrashing of Manchester City at Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta urged his Arsenal players to “focus on us” after a 5-1 hammering of bitter rivals Manchester City gave their title hopes a major boost. The Gunners produced a superb second-half performance to thrash the champions in a fixture that has become one of the Premier League’s spiciest grudge matches.

Erling Haaland’s father hit back at the nature of Arsenal’s celebration following their 5-1 victory over Manchester City with a reminder of their lack of trophies under Mikel Arteta. Haaland had a difficult afternoon at the Emirates and although he scored City’s equaliser the striker was kept quiet by Gabriel while Myles Lewis-Skelly appeared to mock him by copying his ‘Zen’ celebration when he netted his first Gunners goal.
