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Lewis-Skelly, who was available after having his red card vs Wolves rescinded, scored the Gunners’ third of the afternoon.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.”
