PEP GUARDIOLA did not have much to say as he was told about Myles Lewis-Skelly emulating Erling Haaland’s celebration.
Arsenal defeated the reigning Premier League champions 5-1 at the Emirates on Sunday.
Lewis-Skelly, who was available after having his red card vs Wolves rescinded, scored the Gunners’ third of the afternoon.
The teenager responded by sitting down in a meditative pose, a celebration made famous by Haaland.
After the game, Guardiola was asked about the gesture in his press conference.
Looking exasperated, he said: “Oh, I didn’t see. Did they do that? That’s good.”
He then continued: “That’s good. Haaland’s celebration, they have done it? Oh yeah?”
Guardiola, 54, then added “That’s good” one more time before getting up and leaving the press conference.
Arsenal fans were thrilled at the six-time Premier League winner’s response.
One wrote on social media: “Head is gone.”
While a second commented: “This man is gone.”
However another social media user responded: “City are battering Arsenal next game.”
