Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has dismissed complaints about their celebrations after victory over Liverpool.

Reds hero Jamie Carragher bitterly complained in the aftermath.

But Gabriel told the Daily Star: "Celebrations are part of football. If we didn't have any celebrations, then the game would be no fun.

"I think against Liverpool, we played against a huge team in a huge game. We'd worked so hard all week to face them and then we got the result we wanted.

"So, of course, we are going to be happy that we won. When you win a big game like this it's only natural to celebrate."
