David Seaman slams Gianluigi Donnarumma for over-celebrating routine saves — Goal

Former Arsenal and England goalkeeper David Seaman criticised Manchester City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma for regularly celebrating the saving of shots during an appearance on the Beast Mode On podcast with Adebayo Akinfenwa. Seaman said: "The ones that really celebrate shots, although Donnarumma, who's one of my favourites at the moment, was doing some massive celebrations after some half-decent saves, and when they do that I'm like: 'Come on, you're better than that.' When I see goalkeepers when they first sign for a club and they're giving it all that after they've made a save, and it's not even a really good save, I'm like: 'Come on, what you doing?' Celebrate when it really means something!

That really annoys me." He offered a contrasting view of Arsenal keeper David Raya, calling him "so consistent" and praising a string of saves: "He's making some big saves. There was a double save where he was arching back, touched it onto the bar, got up and somebody knocked the rebound in and he saved it.
