Vinícius was criticized and even became the victim of a racist comment during the week, due to his dances when celebrating his goals at Real Madrid. The forward received support from different football figures, such as Gabriel Jesus, his compatriot, who decided to imitate his celebration at Arsenal.
This Sunday, the 'Gunners' faced Brentford, for the eighth round of the Premier League, with the obligation to win to return to the top. Despite the tough opponent, the team led by Mikel Arteta managed to take the lead, with a header goal by William Saliba (17').
And shortly after, it was Gabriel Jesus' turn, also through the air. Around the 28th minute, Arsenal started to combine a series of passes on the left wing and Granit Xhaka delivered a perfect cross to the Brazilian, who finished with precision to overcome the goalkeeper David Raya's resistance.
After hitting the back of the net, the former Manchester City player did his usual celebration, with the phone gesture, and then surprised the fans: he performed some dance steps, imitating one of the many movements that Vinícius has done during his stay at Real Madrid.
Previously, Gabriel Jesus had also supported his compatriot on social media, posting the message: "Dance, 'Vini'!". In that sense, the star of the 'White House' has already stated that he will not change his way of celebrating and is ready to maintain his goal-scoring streak against Atlético Madrid (he has four goals in LaLiga Santander).
