Anelka Defends Goal Celebration Gesture

anelka defends goal celebration gesture

The French minister for sport has accused Nicolas Anelka of making a "disgusting anti-Semitic" goal celebration. He made the gesture after scoring for West Brom in their 3-all Premier League draw at West Ham. The Football Association is reported to be looking into the incident. Anelka insists it was merely a dedication to his friend - a comedian who invented the action as an anti-establishment statement.
