Micah Richards and Roy Keane have continued a bad-tempered and eventful day of the Premier League, with the two clashing over their analysis of the 2-2 draw between Manchester City and Arsenal.

The match between the pair was an instant classic as it had everything: A screamer from a defender, fights between players, a red card, and even a last minute equaliser.

Richards was full of praise for Arsenal, stating that Manchester City would be disappointed.

The former Manchester City defender said Gabriel and William Saliba were 'unbelievable', calling it a 'remarkable' performance from the pair.

Keane hit back at this, saying: "They've conceded two goals, they can't have defended that well."

Richards claimed that this was in itself an achievement, as it was 'against one of the best teams the Premier League has ever seen'.

Keane added: "Do you know what, can I tell you, it has happened before where teams can get a result with ten men.

"It's like we're making what they've done something extraordinary.

"I'll tell you listen, Arsenal done well but City were really poor, no movement, no overlaps, no underlaps, so it was more poor play from Man City than Arsenal's brilliant defending."


Richards pointed to how the duo kept Erling Haaland, who he called 'the best striker in world football' quiet in the second half, to which Keane retorted: "he scored".

The former City full back went on to say: "Arsenal were brave in that first half in the way that they stepped up, Haaland got his opportunity, the goals that we've seen him score with the space in behind, that can happen.

"Then second half they went into a low block and defended for their life."

Keane wasn't having it, saying that defending in a low block was 'the easiest part of football'.

One fan thought that Keane was in the right, saying: "Keane is right here even I could have coached that Arsenal defensive Perfomance.

"City were just poor.

"To break a low block you need dribblers on the team and overlaps in the wide areas and they had none of that rather played centrally with defenders having the most touches."

This was not unanimous though, with another fan saying: "Maybe City were poor because Arsenal did so well? Ever think of that Roy?"
