Roy Keane and Ian Wright clash during Arsenal's win over Man Utd and things got genuinely heated
Published 10:50 5 Dec 2024 GMT
Arsenal sealed a comfortable 2-0 win over Manchester United on Wednesday night.
Roy Keane and Ian Wright were involved in a heated exchange during the live watchalong of Arsenal vs Manchester United.
The Gunners took advantage of Liverpool's 3-3 draw at Newcastle as they won 2-0 against United.
Jurrien Timber and William Saliba were the scorers as Arsenal's set piece dominance came out to play again.
Keane and Wright joined Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher as they hosted a live watchalong on The Overlap's YouTube channel.
In the closing stages of the match, Wright irked Keane by labelling United as a midtable team.
The former Arsenal man said: "I think what we've done is we've been very patient with a mid-table team that's come and been very frustrating.
"They've really frustrated us, and we just had to get it done with the set pieces. I know it must be..."
At that point, Keane interrupted and said: "Can I ask you, what age are you? You're a grandfather."
Wright then said: "I'm a football fan. What's that got to do with anything?"
Keane added: "Sitting there going 'oh mid-table', being childish, show some class, show some class, show some class."
Wright then hit back: "No, I'm watching my team win. What do you mean show some class? It's got nothing to do with class," to which Keane said: "It is. Saying a mid-table team that come and defend."
Wright then turned to Carragher and said: "Was Jamie showing class just now? You know what it is? When United... you can only go to a certain amount of... the United boys go quiet."
The former Gunners man finished by saying: "What I'm saying is where are you in the league? That's what I'm saying.
"And all I'm saying is we've seen you off because we had to deal with the defensive side of what you were doing and keep going."
United and Arsenal will be back in action this weekend as they take on Nottingham Forest and Fulham respectively.
