Charlton boss Alan Pardew will continue to celebrate late winners - even if it does rile Arsene Wenger.

Pardew and Arsenal manager Wenger will renew their touchline rivalry at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, with their November spat - when an 89th-minute strike from Marlon Harewood gave West Ham a 1-0 win over the Gunners and sparked astonishing celebratory scenes from Pardew, who was subsequently shoved by an irate Wenger - adding spice to the clash.

As against Arsenal, Pardew let his emotions get the better of him on Saturday when Bryan Hughes' 90th-minute winner for Charlton over Aston Villa sparked more frantic celebrations, but he refuses to curb his enthusiasm, saying: "Last-minute victories don't come along very often - so you must enjoy them when they do."
