Togo legend Emmanuel Adebayor has opened up on his infamous goal celebration against Arsenal in the English Premier League.

The former African Football of the Year joined Manchester City from Arsenal and went ahead to score against his former club.

Unlike many players who mostly opt not to celebrate against their former clubs, Adebayor ran the length of the pitch to celebrate in front of Arsenal fans, sparking outrage.

After several years, former football star has explained why he celebrated against his former outfit in the crucial clash.

Speaking to Optus Sport, Adebayor disclosed his reaction was a response to insults directed at his parents by Arsenal supporters.

Meanwhile, the Togolese former striker insists he has no regrets about his actions.

During his time at Arsenal, Adebayor played 142 matches and scored 62 goals. While at City, he found the net 19 times in 45 appearances.
