'They stood their ground': Gary Neville praises Arsenal and Southampton medical staff for not letting a FUMING Jan Bednarek back onto the pitch amid concussion fears after he landed on his neck following a challenge

Gary Neville praised Southampton and Arsenal medical staff at the Emirates stadium on Friday evening for refusing to allow Jan Bednarek back onto the pitch.

The Southampton defender was sprawled out on the pitch after appearing to land on his neck while jumping to win a header as his side looked to protect their surprise two-goal lead against the league leaders.

Bednarek received treatment on the pitch before then being moved to the sidelines where he was assessed by Southampton's medical team, who decided he wasn't allowed back onto the pitch amid apparent concussion fears.
