Arsenal striker Robin van Persie has dismissed claims he used a Nazi salute to celebrate one of his hat-trick of goals in the 5-3 win over Chelsea.
After his second goal at Stamford Bridge the Dutchman touched his shoulder with his right hand before raising it to the air.
van Persie has labelled the allegations as insulting and absolutely absurd.
He says it's totally ludicrous to suggest that his action could be construed as anything else but a showing of joy and celebration.
