'Is he not booking him?': Gary Neville is left baffled after Gabriel Martinelli is not booked for 'DANGEROUS' challenge on Kaoru Mitoma during Arsenal's must-win game vs Brighton claiming 'I don't think I'd have complained if it was a red'

Gary Neville was left baffled during the opening stages of Arsenal's must-win game against Brighton on Sunday afternoon.

The Sky Pundit was on commentary with Martin Tyler when Gabriel Martinelli jumped into an aerial challenge with Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma, dangerously clashing with the midfielder.

It was a reckless challenge, with the Gunners midfielder making contact with the opposition player's head, but no disciplinary action was awarded by the referee, sparing much debate between Neville and Tyler in the commentary box.

'It didn't look clever first time, I have to say,' Said Neville.
