ALEX OXLADE-CHAMBERLAIN refrained from joining in with the wild celebrations after Liverpool’s equaliser against Arsenal.
The Merseysiders narrowed the Gunners’ lead at the top of the Premier League table to six points last Sunday thanks to a 2-2 draw at Anfield.
Super-sub Roberto Firmino levelled the scores in the 87th minute to send Kopites in attendance and around the world into ecstasy.
But former Arsenal star Oxlade-Chamberlain kept his emotions to himself as the fans and subs around him went crazy.
Footage of the England international not celebrating was captured as the cameras showed an irate Mikel Arteta reacting to his side dropping two points.
The Ox stayed in his seat and looked on at Arteta as the Spaniard lamented the equaliser.

“He’s gonna leave as a free agent.”
