Jamie Redknapp takes brutal swipe at Arsenal's set piece coach Nicolas Jover - and claims he 'obviously doesn't do the defensive one' after Gunners poorly concede from a dead-ball situation

Jamie Redknapp has aimed at dig at Arsenal set piece coach Nicolas Jover after the Gunners fell behind in their Carabao Cup semi-final following a Newcastle set-piece.

The Magpies took the lead in the 37th minute of their semi-final at the Emirates, with Alexander Isak pouncing on a loose ball in the box.

Newcastle defender Sven Botman had won the initial header from a direct ball forwards, before Jacob Murphy's touch ran into Isak's path for the in-form striker to finish.

Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp highlighted how despite Isak's lethal form in front of goal, the Swedish star had been marked by Arsenal midfielder Martin Odegaard.
