Adebayor apologizes to Arsenal fans

Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor regrets his actions in 2009, when whilst playing for Man City the Togan famously celebrated in front of former club Arsenal's fans. Adebayor escaped a lengthy ban after the incident.

Ahead of this weekend's huge battle between Arsenal and Tottenham, Adebayor has apologized to his former club's fans for the celebration.

"What happened two years ago was an accident and I do apologise to all the fans of Arsenal. Sometime the emotions, we cannot control them, we are all human beings," Adebayor told talkSPORT.

"I regret what I have done and I say sorry to everyone but at the end of the day sorry doesn't change anything. For me it's over.

"I'm looking forward to playing against Arsenal again on Sunday but believe me, if I have a chance to score, trust me I will score but as for the celebration, never in my life will I do something like that again.

"It will be a funny game [on Sunday], it'll be fantastic. I have a chance to play against Arsenal again, the club that gave me the chance to be where I am today. I have a huge respect for the club."
