Neville slams Arsenal set-piece coach for screaming like crazy in Newcastle lose

Gary Neville has criticised Arsenal set-piece coach Nicolas Jover for 'screaming like crazy' at Leandro Trossard and acting 'like he was the manager' during their defeat at Newcastle.

The Gunners suffered their first Premier League defeat of the season following a highly controversial Anthony Gordon goal which was allowed to stand following a triple VAR check for the ball going out of play, a foul and an offside.

Mikel Arteta described the decision as 'embarrassing' and 'a disgrace' afterwards but Sky Sports pundit Neville was incensed by Jover's behaviour on the sidelines.

Jover, 42, made headlines a month ago when Kyle Walker snubbed his offer of a handshake following Manchester City's 1-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium.

This led to a confrontation between Walker and Jover, who formerly worked at City, which escalated into a bust-up between players and coaching staff on both sides.

As Arsenal chased a late equaliser, Neville felt Jover was putting too much pressure on Trossard, who was on their set-pieces.

The former England and Manchester United defender told his Sky Sports podcast: 'It was driving me crazy. The set-piece coach down here, he was doing my head in.

'He was screaming on like crazy like he was the manager. I'm not sure that helps.

'He's screaming on at Trossard who was taking the set-pieces… sit down, he knows what to do, you've gone through it in the week, it's up on the board in the dressing room before the game, and you've told him three, four times.

'To me it felt like he was putting more pressure on Trossard taking the corners, which, to be fair, Trossard didn't handle because his corners were appalling.

'They were real chances, in a game that's so tight, set-pieces, no one needs to tell Mikel Arteta or any
