Arsenal legend Alan Smith brutally hits out at Erling Haaland's dad after he criticised Myles Lewis-Skelly's controversial goal celebration

Arsenal legend Alan Smith has hit out at Erling Haaland's dad, telling him to 'get back in his box', after he criticised Myles Lewis-Skelly's controversial goal celebration.

Youngster Lewis-Skelly scored in his side's 5-1 drubbing of Manchester City last weekend before mimicking Haaland's trademark meditation stance, leading to a backlash from pundits, including Mail Sport's Graeme Souness.

Earlier this season, Haaland had thrown the ball at Gabriel Magalhaes' head after John Stones scored a 97th-minute equaliser in the reverse fixture. He was then overheard urging Mikel Arteta to 'stay humble' in tense post-match scenes.
