Rooney Slams Man City’s Early Celebrations, Warns They Could Backfire

1 / 3

Manchester City secured a crucial 2-1 win over Arsenal on Sunday, boosting Pep Guardiola’s side in the title race. Despite the loss, a supercomputer model still gives Arsenal a 73% chance of winning the Premier League. Off the pitch, tensions flared when Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus confronted a City fan who allegedly called him “Judas.” Former United striker Wayne Rooney criticised what he called “premature celebrations” by some City players. He warned that such displays could “come back to bite them” if the race turns. The victory leaves City three points behind Arsenal but with a game in hand against Burnley. A win would draw them level on points and hand the title race to goal difference. Arsenal remain top as they prepare to host Newcastle.
