Calafiori scored a stunning goal, blasting the ball past City goalkeeper Ederson before running straight to Arsenal's bench to celebrate with manager Mikel Arteta and his teammates.

Riccardo Calafiori admits he finds his goal celebration in Arsenal's draw at Manchester City "embarrassing".AdvertisementAdvertisement

He told BBC Sport: "When they passed me the ball, I thought: 'Now I'm going to shoot it into the corner.

"It wasn't me who ran, I was empty. It was another person!"

Calafiori also revealed: "I learned the language thanks to Netflix and UK Drill."

He then also focused on English food, "I expected it to be worse."

And on his move from Bologna, Calafiori added: "Arteta started calling me and started explaining what they think of me. He tried to convince me to sign but I was already convinced."
