The Australian could be seen patting his chest to mark the near end of what has been widely-regarded as a successful first season in charge that will see them at least qualify for the Conference League.
Spurs’ end to the season is somewhat complicated, however, with the City game having a direct impact on the title race. The defending champions need to win their last two matches to guarantee winning a fourth Premier League title, with the first of the two games being against Tottenham.
If Spurs can stop City, the title will be in Arsenal’s hands, with Spurs’ arch rivals just one point behind Pep Guardiola’s outfit with two games left to play themselves.
‘Don’t you have Manchester City at home on Tuesday?’ one fan posted on X, formerly Twitter. ‘What are you doing? Keep this lap of honor for Tuesday when you beat City.’
Another wrote: ‘Sksksks these are the man Arsenal are begging,’ accompanied by two crying emojis.
A third added: ‘Nah this is next level hatred for Arsenal. Spurs have another home game on Tuesday but have decided to do their end of season lap of honour today.’
