Manchester United legends Rio Ferdinand and Roy Keane have mocked Arsenal's wild celebrations after their Community Shield triumph over Man City.

The Gunners stunned City 4-1 in post-match penalties to win the domestic trophy ahead of the 2023/24 season.

According to The Mirror, the tie was decided via penalties after ending in a 1-1 draw during regulation time.

City looked on course to secure a slim win after youngster Cole Palmer netted the opening goal in the 77th minute, only for Leandro Trossard to draw Arsenal level at stoppage time.

Mikel Arteta's charges went on to convert all their spot-kicks, with midfielder Fabio Vieira scoring the winning penalty.

Vieira's converted effort sparked wild celebrations from the Arsenal camp, including from Arteta, who raced through the pitch in jubilation.

Arsenal mocked for celebration

However, a section of former footballers led by Rio Ferdinand and Roy Keane was less than impressed with the celebrations, with many appearing to downplay the significance of the trophy and the match.

Rio sarcastically tweeted:

"Couldn’t tell u how many community shields I won. Always enjoyed the day BUT..."

The former defender's sentiments were backed by Keane, who told ITV:

"We have to give Arsenal some credit. You want to get into good habits of winning matches but you have to step back, it is a friendly match."

The duo's observation was backed by a section of fans on social media, with one posting:

"Arteta going absolutely wild. How embarrassing."

A second wrote:

"Arteta celebrating like he's just won the Champions League lol what a joke."
