Arsenal<\/a> legend Alan Smith has urged Erling Haaland<\/a>’s dad to ‘get back in his box’ following his scathing criticism of Myles Lewis Skelly’s controversial goal celebration.<\/p>\n

The fallout from last Sunday’s box office Premier League<\/a> clash shows no sign of abating, with the rivalry between the two clubs reaching toxic levels.<\/p>\n

Teenager Lewis-Skelly has been heavily criticised for goading Haaland by mimicking his trademark celebration<\/a> after he scored his first goal for the club to put his side 3-1 ahead,<\/p>\n

Haaland ruffled Arsenal’s feathers earlier this season when he threw the ball at Gabriel’s head following John Stones<\/a>’ 97th minute equaliser after which the City goal machine called Gabriel Jesus a clown and urged Mikel Arteta to ‘stay humble’.<\/p>\n

Arsenal gained a measure of revenge last week but Haaland Snr took offence to the sight of his son being mocked and took the opportunity to remind Arsenal of their lack of silverware.<\/p>\n

Smith, who won two Golden Boots during two title winning campaigns under George Graham, hit back, reminding Alf-Inge that his time in England was hardly trophy-laden and insisted he saw nothing wrong with Lewis-Skelly’s antics.<\/p>\n

‘Haaland\u2019s dad had a little chip, didn\u2019t he?’ said Smith. ‘Saying, \u2018oh, yeah, all those trophies you\u2019ve won,\u2019 or something like that. I thought, \u2018oh, leave it\u2019. It\u2019s just funny!<\/p>\n

‘By the way, Alf-Inge, you didn\u2019t win much! Back in your box. You can\u2019t live your life through your son, you know. It was a great moment, wasn\u2019t it? Those kinds of things are great.’<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the Premier League outlined its intention to monitor future goal celebrations<\/a> and suggested disciplinary action could be taken if any players took things too far.<\/p>\n

The Premier League’s chief football officer, Tony Scholes, told Sky Sports on Wednesday: ‘There’s a balance.<\/p>\n

‘I think we all like to see celebrations. Some of the celebrations have been very funny, entertaining, but there’s a line.<\/p>\n

‘Once it crosses over into mockery or criticism then we would need to deal with it.’<\/p>\n
