“Everyone was celebrating. We were sitting in the changing room. They were doing selfies. Even though we were still top. We have a group on the phones. A few of the lads stuck a few pictures up and it got the blood boiling. Certainly it gave us an extra yard in the next few games,” said the German.
Leicester City lift the Premier League title
Leicester’s longest-serving player Andy King thought Arsenal’s on-pitch celebrations were a tad over-zealous, adding: “There were people after that game who thought they won the World Cup! They were on their knees, pointing to the skies, doing victory laps of honour… We were like, ‘hold on'”.
Danny Welbeck, just back from injury in February scored a last minute winner after Jamie Vardy’s opener via a penalty was cancelled out by Theo Walcott.
