Arsenal manager Wenger said that he understood why the celebrations happened, but would prefer the celebrations to be less over the top.

"It is part of the intensity," said the Frenchman.

"It can go overboard. It happened to us. It happened to us. Hopefully you commit 100 per cent to the pitch and are an angel after.

"I don't know what happened really. It is difficult to take to see the 100 per cent celebration on the other side. It is an experience that's a little bit offensive."

Arsenal famously came to blows with Manchester United when they lost their undefeated league run in 2004, when Cesc Fabregas threw pizza at Alex Ferguson.

Wenger referenced his time in Japan where celebrations can be more muted:

That's why I admired sumo in Japan because the guy who wins does not show his happiness out his respect for his opponent. Is it something we can copy? I don't think so. It's not part of our culture.
