Brentford forward Yoane Wissa emulates Erling Haaland with celebration v Arsenal

Brentford forward Yoane Wissa emulated Erling Haaland by copying his iconic celebration after scoring against Arsenal.

Wissa, who nodded home following Nathan Collins' knock-down inside the area, peeled away before pulling out Haaland's 'meditation' trademark.

Haaland has coined the celebration as a tribute to aiding his personal development and inner peace by using meditation techniques. While playing for Borussia Dortmund, Haaland even collaborated with German fitness coach and influencer Pamela Reif to explore various yoga techniques.

DR Congo international Wissa saw his tally for Premier League goal involvements hit 50 with his latest effort, a 15th strike of the season. It proved to be a decisive effort for the Bees, who were more than good value for a valiant point against Mikel Arteta's side.

Of course, the Gunners will still have one eye on their UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg with Real Madrid next week. A wonderful brace from Declan Rice and a further strike from Mikel Merino means Arteta's men hold a healthy advantage heading to Spain.

Toney, who was rumoured to be on the verge of a move to the Emirates, was said to have been dismissed by Arteta when the suggestion of signing him arose.

According to a recent report from , Arteta was put off by Toney in particular as an option because he didn't think he'd fit in with the group dynamic.

Part of his turnaround of the club has been instilling a team-centric mentality, working as a unit to achieve their title aspirations, which they have once again fallen short of this season.
