Arne Slot and Mikel Arteta have defended Gabriel Martinelli after the Arsenal forward sparked a skirmish by trying to roll an injured Conor Bradley off the pitch

Seven-time Premier League winner Keane described Martinelli’s behaviour as “not good stuff”. “You could tell [Bradley] was injured,” added the Manchester United legend.

First off, Roy Keane is in no position to complain about a player physically interacting with an injured player. He's the bastard who tried to ruin Alfe Inge Haaland's career via a horrible tackle.

Second, it's not odd to see pundits criticizing players (right or wrong). But it's unusual to see managers of opposing teams defend a player accused of wrecklessness (in this case Martinelli).
