Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, has hit out at the talk that his players over-celebrated their victory over Arsenal.
Guardiola has labelled the criticisms as “stupid”.
Ex-Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney, had claimed they “were a bit over the top.”
City edged the Gunners 2-1 on Sunday and could go top of the table when they face Burnley at Turf Moor on Wednesday.
“When they celebrated, people can say whatever – stupid things they want to say – they celebrated because they know the value of the opponent,” Guardiola said.
“They won and still we are there. How can they not celebrate it? As much as you respect the opponent and the fans of the opponent, celebrate however you want.”
