Robin van Persie’s passionate goal celebration against Chelsea was ‘stupid’ according to Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal.
Van Persie netted a dramatic last-gasp equaliser against Jose Mourinho’s men in the 90th minute following Didier Drogba’s opener earlier in the second half.
After salvaging a late point for his team, Van Persie celebrated his goal by taking off his shirt – which earned the Dutchman a booking.
Following the game, Van Gaal criticised the striker for having received, what he felt, was a needless yellow card.
‘You can see he had a stupid reaction after the goal,’ Van Gaal said.
‘You can be excited, but you don’t have to pull your shirt off because then you get a yellow card.
‘It’s not so smart.’
