Arsenal star Lucas Torreira has revealed that Gunners legend Robert Pires was the inspiration behind his celebration against bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspurs in the north London derby.
After scoring the fourth goal in Arsenal's 4-2 win over Spurs on Sunday, the Uruguayan midfielder ripped off his shirt as the Emirates Stadium erupted in jubilation.
After the game, Torreira said he made a promise to current Arsenal coach Pires that if he found the back of the net he would do exactly that.
"During the week we had been talking a lot, during the training sessions,” he told RedeTV (via The Mirror).
