Roy Keane mocks David Luiz for celebrating after blocking Bruno Fernandes free-kick, says Arsenal vs Manchester United is ‘like a reserve game’

Roy Keane had a jokey dig at David Luiz after the Arsenal defender celebrated blocking a Manchester United free kick on Saturday.

The Gunners hosted the Red Devils at the Emirates and produced an unentertaining first half.

United played on the front foot but were unable to break Arsenal down.

One of their best chances came from a dangerously positioned free-kick late in the half.

Bruno Fernandes fired the ball towards goal, but Luiz headed it behind for a corner from his place in the wall.

He reacted by giving a dramatic fist pump, while the rest of his teammates simply walked off.

When going through the main points of action in his role as a Sky pundit at half-time, Keane enjoyed rewatching the moment.

Given the lack of chances for Mikel Arteta’s side, Keane mocked: “And this is the highlight for Arsenal – Luiz looks like he’s scored a goal there himself!

“He’s obviously delighted with the job he’s done there, yeah.

“That’s the highlight for him.”

Regarding the first-half as a whole, Keane said: “It’s not been great, I’ve been disappointed.

“I think it’s been almost like a reserve game.

“I think really it’s up to United to up the ante, more intensity, need more pace, they’ve been sloppy.

“Arsenal have done okay, but United have to smell that they’re obviously there for the taking.”
