Manager Arsène Wenger disapproved of Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor's celebration in front of the travelling Arsenal support today.
The Gunners succumbed to a 4-2 defeat, with Adebayor scoring against his former club.
The Togolese international does not have the best of relationships with Arsenal fans, often criticising them for their criticism of his poor performances last season.
When he scored, Adebayor ran the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the Arsenal fans, and Wenger says that such an act was unwelcome.
The Frenchman said: "I don't want to assess Adebayor's performance as he's not my player.
"The celebration was not of the biggest elegance, but that's out of my control.
"As you know that is not welcome, but his attitude and his behaviour is out of my control and I cannot influence that."
