Louis Van Gaal Blasts Robin Van Persie's Stupid Goal Celebration

Louis Van Gaal Blasts Robin Van Persie's Stupid Goal Celebration

Manchester United manager, Louis van Gaal, labelled Robin van Persie 'stupid' after his celebrations of the dramatic late equaliser in their 1-1 draw at home to Premier League leaders Chelsea.

The celebration got the Dutch striker booked after he scored a 94th minute equaliser at Old Trafford last night and Van Gaal, who felt his side deserved point, revealed that he was not impressed with his star striker's response in celebrating the dramatic goal.

"You have seen a stupid reaction after the goal," he said.

"You can be excited but you don't have to pull your shirt off, then you have a yellow card, which is not so smart.

"But yes, we deserved a point. You know that, Jose Mourinho knows that also."

Van Gaal, admitted that he was a little disappointed with the result and expects his side to perform a lot better against the bigger teams.

"I said to the boys, it wasn't our best performance and that's a pity because in these moments you have to show yourself against the better teams," he added.

Yesterday's result has left Manchester United in eighth place in the Premier league and are currently 10 points behind league leaders Chelsea.
