Despite the fact that neither Arsenal nor Liverpool did anything illegal on Sunday, Gary Neville was not overly happy with the contentious acts of Ivan Toney of Brentford.
Because they triumphed over Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, respectively, in the Premier League, Arsenal and Liverpool truly had a memorable weekend.
But after Ivan Toney’s contentious free-kick goal during Brentford’s 3-2 victory on Saturday, another Premier League team—Nottingham Forest—wrote to the PGMOL and Howard Webb, which infuriated the Manchester United icon.
Ivan Toney scored the goal after the returning striker moved the ball and the foam from their original location while taking a free kick on the edge of the penalty area.
Gary Neville was able to connect the dots and identify Liverpool and Arsenal.
The Sky Sports analyst said on Twitter that it is “embarrassing” for clubs to write to the PGMOL to express their dissatisfaction about decisions, and he is adamant that Liverpool and Arsenal initiated this “nonsense.”
Without a doubt, this season’s big discussion points have featured both teams.
Remember that one and only loss for Jurgen Klopp’s team this season at the hands of Tottenham and THAT “goal” by Luis Diaz? Arsenal’s most significant dispute was against Newcastle.
Following both games, there was a great deal of controversy, and Gary Neville believes that a concerning trend has begun.
Gary Neville, Arsenal, Liverpool, and the PGMOL
Neville remarked, “Clubs writing to the PGMOL is embarrassing,” following Forest’s decision to join the group.
“Liverpool and Arsenal initiated it and established the standard for this absurdity.”
Arsenal and Liverpool both score enormous victories.
Both Liverpool and Arsenal will be grinning as they gaze at the Premier League table, despite Gary Neville’s ongoing tirade against them.
Because the Reds are atop the tree with 43 points, along with Manchester City, Arsenal, and Aston Villa, the light will be brighter on Merseyside.
Although Man City has a game still to play and you would think they would go back to their usual ways in the upcoming months, Jurgen Klopp’s team leads by five points.
And now that Kevin de Bruyne is back inside the structure, everything has changed dramatically for everyone.
In any case, a multiple title race may be developing for the first time in a long time.
