Arsenal fans come up with incredible Wolves theory as they take credit for Tottenham defeat

Arsenal fans were left overjoyed following Wolves' victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta's side recorded a crucial 1-0 victory against the east Midlands club on Thursday evening thanks to a first-half finish from Brazilian centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes.

However, a number of Bruno Lage's players were left unimpressed by the Gunners' celebrations following the full-time whistle, with both Ruben Neves and Conor Coady questioning the north London outfit for how they reacted to the win.

Speaking after the match, Neves said: "We saw the way they celebrated the win and that shows the level we are. I didn't see Arsenal celebrating like this in the past 10 years - it was like they won the league."

Similarly, England international Coady told BBC Radio 5 Live: “We’ve seen them [the celebrations], we heard them. We’ve obviously seen the whole thing, I know Ruben has obviously spoken out after it.

“They celebrated quite hard, didn’t they? It probably obviously shows how big the game was to them, and to us – it was big to us as well."

He added: "So we’ve seen the celebrations, I’ll be honest with you, from our point of view, we really didn’t like them.”

Neves and Co then defeated Spurs 2-0 on Sunday afternoon, with a number of Arsenal fans taking to social media, claiming that their celebrations had helped rile Wolves up before putting in a solid performance against Antonio Conte's men.

Here is what a select few on Twitter said.

@Cazorla_Esque: "Wolves have vented their frustration of that Arsenal celebration against the wrong London club."

@PatrickTimmons1: "Arsenal celebrated for ages on Thursday, riling up the Wolves players in the process, who then took out that pent-up anger on Spurs. This is football heritage."

@afcDW: "Our celebrations really got Wolves pumped to turn up against Spurs. Couldn’t have planned it any better."

@PaddyArsenal: "We made Wolves angry and they took it out on Spurs."

@chief_afc: "Spurs fans were doing essays about how it’s embarrassing that Arsenal are celebrating a win vs Wolves hold dat."

@OzilThings: "Tottenham haven’t won a game against a top half team since August."

@afcnine: "Cheers lads, apologies for Thursday night."

@bhavss14: "'Game in hand’ FC have now played the same amount as Arsenal, only to sit 8th & 3 points behind us."
