Jamie O’Hara tells ’embarrassing’ Arsenal fans to ‘get a grip’ for celebrating Tottenham win like Champions League triumph in stunning rant about Gunners’ fall from grace

Former Tottenham star Jamie O’Hara has claimed Arsenal fans were ’embarrassing’ for celebrating their north London derby victory like they had won the Champions League.

The Gunners blew Spurs away in the first half at the Emirates, winning 3-1 on home soil thanks to goals from Emile Smith Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Bukayo Saka.

The Arsenal fans celebrated wildly outside the stadium after the result and later mobbed Aubameyang’s supercar as he attempted to leave.

Smith Rowe called it the best day of his life and supporters also called into talkSPORT to gloat about the result.

But despite the comprehensive nature of the first-half display, they conceded a tame Heung-Min Son goal and were an Aaron Ramsdale wondersave away from being made to sweat by a terrible Tottenham team.

And O’Hara was keen to point out that they shouldn’t get so carried away given they are on the same amount of points as Spurs and have had a bigger decline in recent years.

“Can we get something right, right now. You’ve got nine points, you’re going on like you’ve won the league!” he told talkSPORT Breakfast.

“You’ve beaten a bang average Spurs team with a bang average manager and you’re going on like you’ve won the title. It’s embarrasing.

“You’ve had the biggest fall from grace of any football club in the Premier League.

“You used to compete with Man United for the title. Now you’re beating a rubbish Spurs team and giving it like you’ve won Europe. Get a grip of yourself, Arsenal fans. It’s ridiculous.

“You used to have Emmanuel Petit, Vieira, Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry. You used to batter teams at the top of the table. You’ve had the biggest fall from grace ever.”
