Roy Keane brutally interrupts pundit with swipe at Arsenal following Manchester City draw

Richards, a former Man City player, praised Arsenal's impressive defensive display, especially highlighting the outstanding efforts of William Saliba and Gabriel as the ten-man Gunners came close to securing a memorable victory over the Premier League champions.

Arsenal led 2-1 at half-time but had their backs to the wall for almost the entirety of the second half after Leandro Trossard was sent off just before the break.

Manchester City appeared to be running out of ideas when substitute John Stones scored a dramatic equaliser in the 98th minute to earn a point and maintain the hosts’ unbeaten start to the season.

While Arsenal were gutted to concede so late on, they would have likely taken a point at half-time as they faced the prospect of taking on the best team in England with a numerical disadvantage.

Following the thrilling stalemate, Richards said on : ‘Gabriel and Saliba were unbelievable.

‘To defend like that for 45 minutes in the second half against the best team in the league is remarkable.

‘When Gabriel came to Arsenal he was making a few mistakes, but he has changed his game to be reliable.’

Manchester United legend Keane then interrupted Richards and said: ‘They conceded two goals. They couldn’t have defended that well.

‘They conceded two goals. Can I tell you something? Teams can get a result with ten men… it has happened before.

‘It’s like we’re making out they did something extraordinary. Listen Arsenal did well but Man City were really poor, no overlaps, no movement.

‘It was more poor play from Man City than brilliant Arsenal defending.’
