Robin van Persie has been moved to rebut suggestions that he celebrated one of his three goals in Arsenal's 5-3 defeat of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday with a Nazi salute.
The Dutchman used his Twitter account to answer claims made on the internet that he performed the salute in front of the Arsenal fans after scoring his second goal.
Van Persie, who touched his right shoulder then his left shoulder with his right hand before raising it in the air, said it was nothing more than an expression of his joy at scoring such an important goal.
He tweeted: "It has been brought to my attention of some ridiculous allegations concerning my celebration of one of my goals yesterday.
"It is totally ludicrous to suggest that my action of brushing my shoulder and pointing to my fans could be construed as anything else but of a showing of joy and celebration.
"To suggest this meant anything to the contrary is insulting and absolutely absurd as nothing else came into my mind."
