Vine: Peter Crouch copies Cristiano Ronaldo celebration as Arsenal last 19 seconds

The Gunners' new-look defence allowed a goal from Stoke's first cross

The good vibes rarely last long for Arsenal these days

Arsenal conceded their quickest ever Premier League goal as terrible defending saw them fall 1-0 behind Stoke after only 19 seconds. Calum Chambers missed an easy opportunity to head clear and Peter Crouch had the simple task of tapping home from three yards out.

The striker is famed for his quirky celebrations and decided, this week, to mimic Cristiano Ronaldo’s muscle-flex in front of the jubilant Potters faithful.

Jonathan Walters teed up Stoke’s second for Bojan to deftly convert with a side-foot finish. Just before half-time, Irish attacker Jon Walters roofed the ball to make it 3-0.
