Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has sparked outrage for his behavior in the Premier League match against Liverpool last Friday. Martinelli, 24, was seen trying to push injured Reds player Conor Bradley off the pitch, believing he was time-wasting. However, Bradley was seriously hurt and required medical attention. The incident led to a heated exchange between Martinelli and the Liverpool players, resulting in both Martinelli and Reds' Ibrahim Konate receiving yellow cards. Following the game, Martinelli took to Instagram to apologize for his actions, stating that he had reached out to Bradley via text message to offer his apologies. Former England and Manchester United player Gary Neville and Roy Keane have both condemned Martinelli's behavior, labeling it 'disgraceful'. Neville expressed his surprise that a Liverpool player didn't react more strongly to Martinelli's actions, while Keane highlighted the distress caused to injured players in similar situations. The Premier League match between Arsenal and Liverpool ended in a goalless draw, with the Gunners maintaining their six-point lead at the top of the standings. Meanwhile, Liverpool remain in fourth place with 35 points from 21 matches.
