Roy Keane was the centre of some attention off-field on Sunday. Reports suggest that he was allegedly assaulted by a fan at the Emirates Stadium during Arsenal's win over Manchester United. Social media footage showed Sky Sports colleague Micah Richards attempting to diffuse the situation, with Keane standing right behind him.
The Daily Mail reported that a man had confronted Keane in the West Stand and had headbutted him in the chin and chest. Thankfully, no serious damage was done. Sky Sports released a statement on the matter, confirming that Richards was trying to calm the situation down.
Meanwhile, on the pitch, it was just as dramatic. Marcus Rashford had put United ahead in the first half, only for Martin Odegaard to equalise immediately afterwards. Then, Arsenal were awarded a penalty in the second half when Aaron Wan-Bissaka was adjudged to have fouled Kai Havertz, but it was overturned by VAR. Manchester United thought they had won the match through an Alejandro Garnacho goal shortly before the 90th minute, but it was ruled out for offside. In the end, Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus secured the 3-1 win for Arsenal.
Micah Richards, Theo Walcott and Roy Keane were on punditry duties alongside Dave Jones, adding fuel to the drama. Jadon Sancho fired back at Erik ten Hag after being criticised, while Gary Neville rated Rasmus Hojlund's Manchester United debut and admitted he had a problem. It was certainly an action-packed day.
