In the latest installment of It's All Kicking Off!, hosts Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton have had their say on the shock warning that players could be punished for their celebrations. The news that the Premier League could begin to crack down on celebrations has been met with mixed reviews, with Ian Wright joking that he could have been 'locked up' for some of his own. It comes after Myles Lewis-Skelly mimicked Erling Haaland's meditation celebration after a fabulous strike in Sunday's 5-1 win for Arsenal, which drew criticism from Jamie Carragher and Alan McInally.
Discussing the surprising development, hinted at by the Premier League's chief football officer, Tony Scholes, Ladyman has questioned whether reviewing celebrations is even in the division's remit. Meanwhile, Premier League winner Chris Sutton argues that the Premier League 'needs this' behaviour from players, and that it is 'what the game's about'. Tune in to this week's episode of It's All Kicking Off!, available now.
