The former Scotland international said that even though he likes what Arsenal have done so far in the Premier League, winning four out of four, the celebrations are uncalled for.

Gray went further to remind Arsenal that they have only met lowly-rated teams in the league such as Crystal Palace, Leicester City, Bournemouth and Fulham, adding, “It’s not a who’s who of big teams.”

“This is over hype. It’s Fulham. This is a league game. If this was the semi-final of the cup somewhere and you’d won, then I get that.

“Maybe this is what he [Arteta] wants to instil here, I don’t know. I would say it’s dangerous because you’re going to have plenty of downs, that’s for sure.”
