Arsenal are currently trailing 1-0 against Brighton at the Emirates Stadium after losing Gabriel Martinelli through injury in the first 20 minutes of the game
Manchester United legend Roy Keane believes Gabriel Martinelli was 'lucky' to escape punishment after his reckless challenge on Brighton star Kauro Mitoma. Arsenal are currently losing 1-0 against the Seagulls with their Premier League title hopes hanging in the balance.
Keane has disagreed with the Video Assistant Referee's (VAR) decision not to advise Madley to punish Martinelli for his challenge on Mitoma. Speaking to Sky Sports during their half-time coverage of the game, the United legend said: "Tough, he [Martinelli] was lucky.
"Maybe he got the benefit of the doubt because of his personality and the positioning of the player," he added. Presenter Kelly Cates interjected: "VAR said reckless rather than dangerous."
Keane continued: "Right, well, I’d probably disagree with that. But what a good teammate does is get retaliation back.
"It’s not a good tackle [from Caicedo on Martinelli], certainly looks a sore one and obviously he had to go off. Hopefully that’s not the end of his season because he’s been outstanding.
"Sometimes that’s the game. We played, you have to even things up, unfortunately for him."

Arsenal will collect nore points in a way more diffucult league, so your Barca can be happy they are not in EPL as they would play conference league

Arsenal are losers! They played above their means for most of the season, but now it is all averaging out. Man City are Champions!

Dreams are strange, sometimes they are true but in arsenal case they faded. It's a lesson for Arteta n his players. They thought the title is theirs n were over confident.

Must you be this toxic? Arsenal played above expectations whole season... Even prime Barca would have problems beating this Man City in a title race
