Takehiro Tomiyasu's red card 'will have a bigger impact on time wasting for players than adding 15 minutes on', says Gary Neville - with Arsenal defender's first yellow coming amid Gunners' delaying tactics

Gary Neville believes Takehiro Tomiyasu's sending off during Arsenal's 1-0 win against Crystal palace will have 'big' implications on time wasting for players within the Premier League, more so than adding on additional stoppage time.

Mikel Arteta's side secured a hard-fought three points at Selhurst Park on Monday night, with Martin Odegaard scoring from the spot in the second-half to help the Gunners secure their second victory of the new Premier League season.

But they had to work hard for the win, with the north London outfit being reduced to ten men in the second half, with Tomiyasu being shown two yellow cards within the space of seven minutes.
