Anthony Elanga produced one of the standout moments of Newcastle United’s clash with Tottenham Hotspur after putting his side ahead and celebrating in a style that immediately reminded fans of Thierry Henry.
The Newcastle winger broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute, giving his team a crucial advantage and sending the away supporters into celebration.
But it was what Elanga did next that quickly became the talking point. The Swedish international calmly delivered a celebration closely resembling the iconic pose made famous by former Arsenal star Thierry Henry.
Doing it against Tottenham made the moment even more striking. Henry’s celebration remains closely associated with some of Arsenal’s memorable North London derby moments, making Elanga’s version particularly eye-catching for Premier League fans.
The celebration quickly became a talking point among supporters, with fans reacting to the confidence and apparent Henry inspiration behind the moment.
Elanga has already established himself as an important attacking option for Newcastle, bringing pace, direct running and an ability to create decisive moments in the final third.
With the goal and the celebration arriving together, Elanga gave Newcastle supporters a moment they are unlikely to forget — and created another viral Premier League moment in the process.
