Arsenal legend SLAMS 'disrespectful' Gunners star Gabriel for mocking Viktor Gyokeres' trademark goal celebration after scoring against Sporting

Former Arsenal forward Freddie Ljungberg has branded Gabriel's goal celebration against Sporting, in which he appeared to mock Viktor Gyokeres, as 'disrespectful'.

The centre-back rose highest to head home Arsenal's third goal in a resounding 5-1 victory over the Portuguese side in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The game was a rare occasion in which Gyokeres failed to find the net but viewers still got to see a variation of his trademark celebration when the Brazilian scored his third goal of the campaign.

Ljungberg, a compatriot of the Sporting striker, slammed Gabriel's gesture and labelled his actions as 'disrespectful'.
