Mikel Arteta blamed for attack by Spurs fan on Aaron Ramsdale

British broadcaster Richard Keys has insinuated that Mikel Arteta was partly responsible for the ugly scenes at the end of the north London derby on Sunday afternoon.

"Ramsdale has got form of winding supporters up," Keys said on beIN SPORTS.

"Apparently, he's been having an exchange during that second half with the Tottenham fans. Ben White was over there as well at two-nil to Arsenal.

"My fear is and I've said it for a long time now, the guy in the middle there (Mikel Arteta), is the one that's most to blame for the inflammatory behaviour on the touchline that winds people up.

"And if he's not behaving himself, then it's likely that others in his team are not going to either. Who ultimately then becomes the master of the discipline? There isn't anyone."

The Gunners beat Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 to go eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table. However, the end was almost marred by an attempted attack by a Spurs fan on Ramsdale.
