EPL It was unacceptable; Arteta apologises as Arsenal concede English Premier Leauge title defeat
Mikel Arteta has apologised to fans after Arsenal capitulated to a 3-0 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion in the English Premier League on Sunday evening.
Mikel Arteta's team are now four points behind Manchester City, who still have one game remaining and might win the title next weekend.
Shortly after the game, Keown was displeased with Martin Tyler and Neville's coverage of the defeat to Brighton on Sky Sports.
Keown insists Martin Tyler should be left out of Arsenal games
The 56-year-old has criticised Sky’s commentators Martin Tyler and Gary Neville for their bias towards Arsenal and said they should be excluded from any Arsenal game.
Speaking on Talk Sports, Keown said, “The Sky commentary yesterday, How biased is the commentary team? It's frightening. Honestly!
“Martin Tyler is a great professional but he simply cannot hide that it hurts him that Arsenal might win a game of football.

It was too much — Emotional Arsenal legend Ian Wright reacts to crushing defeat
After a poor outing against relegation-threatened Everton, Ian Wright watched Brighton and Hove Albion show up in London to prove to Arsenal they are the landlords at the Emirates.
“Ah honestly! We know that Neville has got the problem. He was almost apologising for it when he said we should be sending Martinelli off (for a foul on Kaoru Mitoma) - no no not at all, you go with your instinct.
“So there you go, there's a poke in the eye to a commentator. I should be more respectful. Martin's a great commentator, but please Sky, don't put him on the Arsenal games anymore, it's a really hard listen!”
Keown calls Martin Tyler an anti-Arsenal
Keown, who is known as a pundit, seemed to be upset by Sky's coverage and continued to make his point when pressed by fellow presenters Jim White and Simon Jordan.
Still speaking, he said, “You tell me, is Martin Tyler biased? Get the Arsenal fans on. They've got to listen to it. There are only 60,000 in the stadium, but millions listen at home. Ask them what they think?”
