John Terry has hit out at Arsenal for ‘celebrating too much’ after the north London side beat Chelsea in the second leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final to book their spot for a tilt at the trophy at Wembley next month.
The former Blues captain was previously mocked by Arsenal fans for his dismayed reaction to Kai Havertz’s late winner at the Emirates on Tuesday night, which he shared to TikTok despite his daughter Summer’s embarrassed pleas that he not post the video publicly.
But Terry has not let the opportunity to try and get one up on his London derby rivals, claiming that the jubilant scenes in Islington in midweek were a touch premature for Mikel Arteta’s side.
‘I just want to talk on Arsenal’s celebrations after… let’s not forget, it’s the Carabao Cup, it’s not the Champions League final,’ Terry criticised in a TikTok video.
‘They celebrated far too much for me, I think that showed the pressure that’s on them at the moment.’
Terry appeared to take umbrage with Arsenal’s bench and staff running onto the pitch at the final whistle as their spot was confirmed, with players pressing up against the advertising hoardings to celebrate with their fans in chaotic scenes.
