Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones shared his thoughts on Mikel Arteta's fist pump celebration after the Gunners defeated the Reds 3-1 at the Emirates to close the gap at the top of the Premier League table.

Arteta and Arsenal have been criticised by several pundits and fans for over-celebrating their win over Liverpool in the top-of-the-table battle. Liverpool midfielder Jones thinks along this line, adding that the Gunners are imitating them.

Jones suggested that Arteta's fist pump is a form of imitation, claiming it is how their manager connects with the fans. "The gaffer [Klopp], the way he fist pumps the crowd, that’s kind of our thing.
