Gary Neville demands Liverpool retaliation on Gabriel Martinelli

"Fans and pundits slammed the Arsenal attacker for his unsportsmanlike behaviour, and former Premier League defender Gary Neville has suggested that Liverpool players should have attacked the Brazilian attacker and taken a red card. Gary Neville said: He's been stretchered off, Conor Bradley, and it's a sad sight because he's had injuries before. I'm absolutely fuming with Gabriel Martinelli. I don't know how the Liverpool players didn't go over to him and whack him and take a red card."

"Meanwhile, Bradley's injury will be a huge blow for Liverpool. They are already struggling in the right-back department, and losing the academy graduate for an extended period could be devastating for them. Having said that, the January transfer window has just opened, and it will be interesting to see if Liverpool decides to dip into the market for reinforcements. Jeremie Frimpong has struggled with injuries since joining the club, and Liverpool cannot depend on the Netherlands international to start every game in the coming months."

Liverpool and Arsenal played out a 0-0 draw in the Premier League, with each side dominating a different half. Conor Bradley suffered a serious knee injury after an incident involving Gabriel Martinelli, who was seen throwing the ball at Bradley and dragging him off the pitch while the defender struggled. Fans and pundits criticised Martinelli's behaviour, and Gary Neville said Liverpool players should have reacted physically and accepted a red card. Martinelli apologised to Bradley after the game and issued a public apology on social media. Bradley's absence is a major blow to Liverpool's right-back options and could force January market activity, especially with Jeremie Frimpong's ongoing injury problems.
