ROY KEANE snapped at Ian Wright for his reaction to Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Manchester United during The Overlap’s live watchalong last night.
Keane couldn’t bite his tongue as Wright revelled in the Gunners’ victory at the Emirates, telling his “childish” co-podcaster to “sit down”.

Keane later hit out at one United star in particular
Arsenal’s potency from set-pieces prevailed after half-time as two corners created Jurrien Timber and William Saliba’s decisive goals.
Wright, who was in top form, leapt in utter euphoria when Saliba’s punt doubled Arsenal’s lead in the 73rd minute.
And as stoppage time played out, Wright began the wind-up mission.
He cheekily praised Arsenal for how they dealt with a lowly team as he struggled to keep a straight face.
Wright, 61, said: “I think what we’ve done is we’ve been very patient with a mid-table team that’s come and been very frustrating.
“They’ve really frustrated us, and we just had to get it done with the set pieces. I know it must be…”
Keane failed to restrain himself, interrupting: “Can I ask you, what age are you? You’re a grandfather.”
Wright hit back: “I’m a football fan. What’s that got to do with anything?”
Keane, 53, continued, talking over the Arsenal icon: “Sitting there going ‘oh mid-table’, being childish, show some class, show some class, show some class.”
Wright added: “No, I’m watching my team win. What do you mean show some class? It’s got nothing to do with class.”
Keane responded: “It is. Saying a mid-table team that come and defend.”
The United legend also slammed Marcus Rashford’s performance later in the show.
He said: “I tell you what, Rashford has come on, his general play as a footballer is shocking. Watch his header there.
“You know what that is, rubbish! That is f***ing rubbish… kicks it out of play.”
Rashford came under scrutiny when he conceded a corner that led to Arsenal’s second goal.

Neville added: “That can’t happen. It’s a looped corner. You do scratch your head, you’re there as a coach and spend hours going through these corners.”
During his cameo, Rashford touched the ball 22 times but did not attempt any shots or make any important passes.
Throughout the broadcast, Jamie Carragher had teased Neville with loud celebrations.
The former United right-back, however, got his sweet retribution as Newcastle held Liverpool to a 3-3 draw with a last-minute equalizer.
As Carragher celebrated Fabian Schar’s strike at the back post to convert Bruno Guimaraes’ free-kick, Neville tossed his beer over him.
