Ian Wright endeared himself even further to Arsenal supporters with his fantastic celebrations during the North London Derby victory against Tottenham on Sunday.
Already a Gunners’ icon, the former striker was a pundit alongside former Tottenham midfielder Glenn Hoddle for the game and did not dampen his celebrations at all.
In a video shared on his official social media accounts, the 57-year-old was shown celebrating wildly as goals from Emile Smith-Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka secured a memorable victory.
Wright then took the celebrations even further as he regularly repeated “it’s a great day” just after Saka had netted the third.
It goes without saying that Wright’s celebrations were welcomed by Arsenal fans on Reddit.
Here is a selection of the best of their responses:
@backcourtjester: “IT’S A BRILLIANT DAY ITS A GREAT DAY!” Well said Wrighty well said."
@Drunk_Cat_Phil: “I swear Ian Wright is God’s gift to Arsenal fans. Love him to bits.”
@teajusv23: “Love his passion. He’s Arsenal through and through.”
@panzer517: “I loved his reaction. After how many rough games we have endured, especially since is required to watch a d comment on all of them. Ian Wright’s response was one of pure joy, something cathartic.”
The win will certainly have tasted sweet to not only Wright but Arsenal fans as well, with it taking the Gunners above Spurs in the Premier League table for the first time during the current season.
It also extends Spurs’ poor run at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League, having not claimed three points at the home of their great rivals since the 2010/11 campaign.
